Description
The medieval Chaucer developed by a process of accretion and transformation into "England's Homer." Metamorphoses occur in the language, text, and image of the poet. The history of TC is the metamorphosis of a beautiful idea into an ugly one. Chaucer's influence was apotheosized by Spenser.
