- Description
- Cannon observes parallels between the "forms of life Chaucer made in his poems" and "what can be reconstructed from his own life from the public record." Suggests that both the textual lives and Chaucer's biography derive "in part from social circumstances" that "made living unusually available to representation in texts."
