- Description
- Discusses space and Chaucer's connections to Britain, suggesting first that FranT is central to "Chaucer’s relation to Britain," which "can be discerned in a throwaway
line" from the tale. Surveys the landscape of Chaucer's Britain through readings of both WBT and FranT, suggesting that in these tales there is a "subterranean memory that surfaces, a history inscribed in stone."
