Anotace knihy

In The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer created one of the masterpieces of our language; and in 1386 a crisis created Geoffrey Chaucer. It was the turning point in a life that followed years of mixing with royalty, marital ups and downs, and financial struggle -- but precious little poetry. Through this dark point in Chaucer's life, Paul Strohm reveals to the reader not only the whole man, but also the crowded world of medieval London, exploring the rhythms of daily life and exposing the currents of politics, love, loyalty and money that drove its world -- just as they do today. And he shows how Chaucer crept away from his duties on London's wool docks to exile in Kent, where he remade himself and experimented with a wholly new style of writing that still speaks to us today. Using the same mix of historical fact and active imagination as Stephen Greenblatt's Will in the World, The Poet's Tale offers us a fresh and inspiring insight into the failures and great successes of an author who is as influential as he is unfamiliar.
