Description

Paperback. 408pp. Terry Jones of Monty Python fame is also the author of several books on the middle ages. Here, with academics Terry Dolan, Juliette Dor, Alan Fletcher and Robert F. Yeager, the possible murder of Geoffrey Chaucer is considered. Chaucer disappears from the public record after 1400 leaving no will, no manuscripts, not other traces. So what happened to him? Was he politically inconvenient? Or was it more innocent than that? Over 19 chapters the arguments for and against the murder of Chaucer are worked though along side detailed biographical background and a depp reading of Chaucer’s works. The last chapter is called “We accuse...” Bibliography and index. Colour illustrations within the text throughout.
Price: £12.50
