Chaucer

Chesterton has revealed Chaucer as a man, the way his poetry stems from the medieval age in which he lived and how glaringly relevant all the walking social symbols of the Chaucerian scene are to the dissolving views of our own social doubts and speculations today. Chesterton’s book is a humorous, informative account of one of England’s most famous writers. It is his attempt to bring Chaucer to a wider audience and explain Chaucer in a different way to most critics.
