Chaucer's Tale: 1386 and the Road to Canterbury | Paul Strohm

pick

Prepping for teaching Middle English lit next term and just finished Strohm‘s book. For anyone looking for a good intro to the cultural background and history of Chaucer‘s career, this does a good “sweep” of the moment. A lot of threads are artfully brought together.
