Sets Chaucer in the context of English literary history, comments on his biography, and commends "his two great masterpieces," TC and CT, summarizing plots and themes and commenting on his "poetic art": "he lacks sublimity," but "his sympathetic understanding and interpretation of life has kept him green through the centuries."
