- Description
- Combines social and intellectual history and appreciative criticism of Chaucer's writing in a "short study of Chaucer's life and works for people with literary tastes," arranged chronologically from Chaucer's youth to death. Describes his "courtiership," career and public service, and the intellectual outlooks and cultural conventions that shaped and are reflected in his writings, with recurrent attention to his Christian perspectives and distrust of the world. Revised in 1965, and more extensively in 1973.
