This important new critical biography traces what is know of Geoffrey Chaucer's personal life while exploring the fascinating relationship between the man of affairs and the poet. He lived during a period which saw not only the deposition of Richard II in 1399 but also the emergence of a new English poetry and a brilliant, if short-lived, English cultural renaissance.

The 'accommodations' of his public life are seen as being of a piece with the habitual irony, the studied elusiveness of a poetry, in which almost everything that could be construed as comment on contemporary events is avoided.
