Boethian influence can be found nearly everywhere in Geoffrey Chaucer's poetry, e. g. in Troilus and Criseyde, The Knight's Tale, The Clerk's Tale, The Franklin's Tale, The Parson's Tale and The Tale of Melibee, in the character of Lady Nature in The Parliament of Fowls and some of the shorter poems, such as Truth, The Former Age and Lak of Stedfastnesse.

The " Parlement of Foules " ( also known as the " Parliament of Fowls ", " Parlement of Birddes ", " Assembly of Fowls ", " Assemble of Foules ", or " The Parliament of Birds ") is a poem by Geoffrey Chaucer ( 1343 ?- 1400 ) made up of approximately 700 lines.

Derek Brewer ( 1960: 104 ) then argues that the date of 1382, as opposed to that of 1374, is much more likely for the composition of the poem since, during the same period ( 1373-85 ), Chaucer wrote many other works including The House of Fame which, in all respects, seems to have been composed earlier than " The Parliament of Fowls ," thus: " a very reasonable, if not certain, date for the Parlement is that it was begun in May 1382, and was ready for St. Valentine's Day, 14th February 1383 " ( Brewer, 1960: 104 ).

Although much of the criticism on the interpretation of " The Parliament of Fowls " — which would render clues for its date of composition — is contradictory, and criticism about the importance of line 117 does not agree on whether it can be taken as serious evidence for the dating of the poem, there is nowadays a general agreement among scholars as to 1381-1382 being the date of composition for " The Parliament of Fowls.
