Review
Refers to Thomas Speght's (1598) claim that Gower and Chaucer were together as the Inns of Court, and Edith Rickert's (1923) assessment of it; then questions the reliability of Speght's sources, and the nature of the Inns of Court as a place for Chaucer, and presumably for Gower also. [RFY1981]
