Chesterton expounds the 'genius of Geoffrey Chaucer' in this literary biography which explores both the writer and his time. He claims that Chaucer and his Age were 'more sane, more normal and more cheerful than writers that came after him' and the characters he portrayed have an immediate contemporary relevance. Beautifully and sensitively written, this biography about the 'Father of English Poetry' will inform and inspire.
