Chaucer And The Medieval World by Donald Roy Howard

Chaucer - unlike most writers, I fear - led an interesting life. He fought in the Hundred Years War and was engaged in the war of the Spanish intervention. He travelled all over Europe, to Flander, France and Spain, and three times to Italy. He saw Florence during the "second democracy" while Petrarch and Boccaccio were still alive, and Italian humanism was established and observable. This 1987 Weidenfeld and Nicolson Hardback is in fair condition. Heavy; DJ. Dust jacket worn and slightly marked, book foxed on pages edges.
