Description
Although the concept of solitude is considered a Renaissance phenomenon, it occurs often in Chaucer's works as "alone" or "privity" and in the concept of private space, such as Nicholas's room in MilT. The "struggle for personal space" was an ongoing issue in the complex fourteenth century.
