The world of Chaucer.(Brief Article)
Best known for The Canterbury Tales (c. 1375-1400), Geoffrey Chaucer was the author of many other works of verse and prose. His early work was heavily influenced by the French tradition of the poetry of love, and about 1370 he translated the French epic poem Roman de la Rose, which he called The Romaunt of the Rose. A fifteenth-century illuminated copy of this work forms the centerpiece of an exhibition entitled The World of Chaucer: Medieval Books and Manuscripts, which is on view at the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow until August 28.
