Written by a foremost scholar of medieval literature, this book is designed to accompany the study of Chaucer. An introductory chapter places Chaucer and the 14th century into the proper literary and historical setting. The rest of the work is devoted to the poems themselves, exploring the poet's method and interpreting the stories in light of the period in which they were written.
