- Description
- Reproduces b&w photographs of medieval manuscript pages and details, maps, sites, and objects, using them to illustrate Chaucer's life, works, and social contexts, and intended to enable readers to imagine what Chaucer's audience "saw with the mind's eye" in response to his descriptions. Organized to illustrate Chaucer's writings, the images are accompanied by brief descriptions that identify them, connect them to Chaucer's life and works, and, where appropriate, provide references for further study.
