Written without footnotes for the nonspecialist, the book deals with Chaucer's Catholic-catholic Christian humanism, treating Chaucer as a Christian courtier whose comments on the church and the laity; sex, love, and marriage; the Old Testament and the Jews; faith and feminism; paganism and the problem of evil are informed by the poet's awareness of eternity.
