ABSTRACT
The Legend of Good Women (LGW), apparently never finished, consists of a dream prologue and nine short narratives celebrating tragic heroines from classical legend, who died faithful in love and, in most cases, betrayed by the men they loved: Cleopatra, Thisbe, Dido, Hypsipyle and Medea (together in one narrative), Lucrece, Ariadne, Philomela, Phyllis, and Hypermnestra. Hypermnestra’s story is incomplete, ending with the tantalizing line (l. 2723)
This tale is seyd for this conclusioun
