Abstract
The appearance of Dr A. B. Cobban’s remarkably learned and detailed study, The King’s Hall within the University of Cambridge in the Later Middle Ages (Cambridge, 1969), enables us to reconsider and take further the generally accepted reference to the King’s Hall as Soler Hall in The Reeve’s Tale (CT, i, 3990).
First published in The Chaucer Review, 5 (1971) 311–17.
