Chaucer's Romaunt of the Rose, Vol. 1 of 3: And Other Poems (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book presents a detailed biography of 14th-century English author Geoffrey Chaucer. The author draws on medieval records to follow Chaucer's life from his birth in the mid-1320s to his death in 1400. Though much of the information about Chaucer's life has been recorded elsewhere, the author presents a fresh perspective on his motivations, and corrects some popular assumptions and misconceptions. Chaucer's early career in the court of Edward III is examined and his literary output is placed in its historical context. The author suggests that the influence of Italian literature on Chaucer's work has been overstated and argues that his writings were just as heavily influenced by French literature. This book will appeal to readers with even a passing interest in Chaucer, English history, medieval studies, or literature. It is a well-researched, well-documented volume that makes a major contribution to Chaucer studies.
