Chaucer's Travels for the Court
- Published
- Suzanne Conklin Akbari and James Simpson, eds. The Oxford Handbook of Chaucer (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2020), pp. 11-25.
- Description
- Details the extant evidence for Chaucer's travel, both in England and abroad, noting that all known travel is for the court, if we define it as “the various royal households with which Geoffrey Chaucer was associated.” Explores countries and places Chaucer would have known from books and does not limit analysis to physical travel. Traces the complex relationship between travel and Chaucer’s works, suggesting that there is no simple link between that travel and his writing.
