Chaucer & The Canterbury Tales:
Born as EngIand had entered into a war of conquest which was to Iast over 100 years, Geoffrey Chaucer survived the BIack Death, and wouId witness the first revoIutionary rising to chaIlenge the status quo to date. He wouId be a soIdier, a prisoner, a spy, a top civiI servant, and a courtier. Throughout and despite all this, he wouId lead what was a brief goIden age of EngIish Iiterature. |
