This volume gathers Chaucer's The House of Fame, a dream-vision poem on fame and rumor, and The Legend of Good Women, a collection of tales about women of antiquity. It also includes The Treatise on the Astrolabe, a prose guide to the instrument, and Skeat's account of the Canterbury Tales sources. Worth hearing for Chaucer's range and medieval learning.
