- Description
- Special individuals of the lesser gentry--knights, squires, and women of equivalent rank closely connected with the court, in such professional positions as the Chancery, secretaryships, and legal work--found their complicated life-experiences embodied in Chaucer's poetry of juxtaposition, with its polarities, disruption of hierarchies, and assertion of relativity of traditional values.
