The Life Of The Author - Geoffrey Chaucer

The Life of the Author: Geoffrey Chaucer explores how generations of biographers have shaped, reinvented, and sometimes fabricated the life of Geoffrey Chaucer to reflect the values and concerns of their own times. Drawing on biographies spanning nearly 625 years, Simone Celine Marshall examines how ideas of authorship, nationalism, morality, and cultural identity have influenced portrayals of Chaucer, offering a fascinating study of how literary lives are continually rewritten across history.
