Produktbeschreibung

Coulton's expedition into Fourteenth-century England and the life of Chaucer, first published in 1908, remains an excellent resource for any reader interested in gaining an understanding of that great writer's world. Beautifully illustrated, the book details Chaucer's service as a squire, his ambassadorial career, his Canterbury Pilgrimage and his writings, never omitting the social and political realities which shaped his life.
