- Description
- Introduces the kinds of courts with which Chaucer would have been acquainted, organized into sections on house and law and one on game that end with readings of FrT and SNT. Discusses the range of courtly depictions, cataloguing "some of the Chaucerian moments of trial which . . . help us to understand how his writings often connected these interrelated ideas of court.”
