Présentation de l'éditeur
Date of the Work. In my introductory remarks to the Legend of Good Women, I refer to the close connection that is easily seen to subsist between Chaucer stranslation of Boethius and his Troilus and Criseyde. All critics seem now to agree in placing these two works in close conjunction, and in making the prose work somewhat the earlier of the two; though it is not at all unlikely that, for a short time, both works were in hand together. It is also clear that they were completed before the author commenced the House of Fame, the date of which is, almost certainly, about 1383-4. Dr. Koch, in his Essay on the Chronology of Chaucer s Writings, proposes to date Boethius about 1377-8, and Troilus about 1380-1. It is sufficient to be able to infer, as we can with tolerable certainty, that these two works belong to the period between 1377 and 1383. And we may also feel sure that the well-known lines to A dam, beginning A dam scriveyn, if ever it thee befalle Boece or Troilus to A vryten newe were composed at the time when the fair copy of Troilus had just been finished, and may be dated, without fear of mistake, in 1381-3. It is not likely that we shall be able to determine these dates within closer limits; noris it at all necessary that we should be able to do so. A few further remarks upon this subject are given below. 2. Boethius. Before proceeding to remark upon Chaucer stranslation of Boethius, or (as he calls him) Boece, it is necessary to say a few words as to the original work, and its author.
