Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Reprint. Peprabck.prev owners name inside. Geoffrey Chaucer, for most of his life an active and responsible official in the service of the King of England - first Edward III and then Richard II - was the indisputable found of the English literary tradition. His decision to write for a court audience in English, rather than in socially fashionable French or learned Latin, was in itself remarkable, and by doing so he established the standigng of Middle English as a literary medium. In this lucid and original book, Professor Kane makes Charucer accessible to the general reader, both as a man and as a poet. He shows how Chaucer absorbed, and in many ways surpassed, the new italian culture represented by Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio.
