Subtle and illuminating life of Chaucer, drawn against the
turbulent backdrop of 14th century England. `Brewer brings to his
task a full scholarly knowledge of the sources of Chaucerian
biography... Of obvious value to students reading Chaucer and to
all who read him for pleasure; more advanced scholars will also
find in it much toprovoke thought and advance understanding.' TIMES
LITERARY SUPPLEMENTChaucer's tales, rich in comedy and pathos, have
an immediate appeal; they draw freely and vividly from the romance
and colour of the times in which he lived, and his world that of
the second half of the 14th century is rich in cultural interest.
It was a time of new exploration and new individualism, of peasant
revolt and passionate religious dissent, and of a remarkable
flowering of the arts. Chaucer lived at thevery centre of the
action, and this book follows the stages of his career,
illuminating with reference to the art and architecture of the time
and through reference to his writings, the physicalenvironment and
intellectual climate in which he lived. Reissue: first published
1978. DEREK BREWER was Professor of English Literature emeritus,
University of Cambridge.
