Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chaucer The biography of Geoffrey Chaucer is no longer a mixture of unsifted facts, and of more or less hazardous conjectures. Many and wide as are the gaps in our knowledge concerning the course of his outer life, and doubtful as many important passages of it remain - in vexatious contrast with the certainty of other relatively insignificant data - we have at least become aware of the foundations on which alone a trustworthy account of it can be built. These foundations consist partly of a meagre though gradually increasing array of external evidence, chiefly to be found in public documents - in the Royal Wardrobe Book, the Issue Rolls of the Exchequer, the Custom Rolls, and such-like records - partly of the conclusions which may be drawn with confidence from the internal evidence of the poet´s indisputably genuine works, together with a few references to him in the writings of his contemporaries or immediate successors.
