Excerpt from Chaucer's England, Vol. 1 of 2
Of the poet himself we have a portrait in outline by his own hand, which, besides agreeing minutely with Occleve's picture, has in a high degree the quality of physiognomical significance. It occurs at the close of the Prioress's Tale.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This volume contains the first Canterbury Tales, a collection of vivid, entertaining stories told by a charming cast of medieval pilgrims. The author was Geoffrey Chaucer, a brilliant writer often called "the father of English literature." Each tale in the book offers a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs, values, and daily experiences of people living during the tumultuous 14th century. Moving beyond a surface-level reading of the stories, the book also delves into the deeper themes and ideas that inspired them. These include the tension between religious devotion and the allure of earthly pleasures, as well as the devastating impact of the Black Death, which was a major event during Chaucer's lifetime. In examining these themes, the book provides valuable insights into the complexities of medieval English society and the human condition itself.
