- Description
- Examines through the eyes of modern poets the ability of medieval imagination "to bridge gaps gracefully between the poets and the world around them"--addressing "all varieties of experience, aspiration, and frustration," often through fresh and vivid imagery of springtime. Peck reviews the difficult circumstances of Chaucer's life at the time he was involved in brilliant exercises of the imagination in LGW, BD, and TC.
