Description
Offers a "psychography" of Chaucer, using biographical records, contemporaneous events, and Chaucer's works to describe his appearance, habits, personality, opinions, and attitudes. Focuses on the personae in Chaucer's literary works; on his treatments of love, virtue, and religion; and on his satire and his sympathies, describing ways that they indicate his "large and generous acceptance of life."
