  Geoffrey Chaucer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chaucer was born around 1343 probably in London, although the exact date and location is not known.
In 1324 John Chaucer, Geoffrey's father, was kidnapped by an aunt in the hope of marrying the twelve year-old boy to her daughter; an attempt to keep property in Ipswich.
Chaucer was buried in Westminster Abbey in London as was his right owing to the jobs he had performed and the new house he had leased nearby on 24 December 1399.

 Annotated Chaucer Bibliographies, 1994, 1996, 1999, 2001
How Chaucer relates and prioritizes the two aspects of his characters, their individuality and their archetypal quality, is key to understanding the characters as his medieval audience would have.
Chaucer should not be expected to rebel against the gender discourse in his translations, as doing so does not appear to have been his intention by any means.
Chaucer then is responsible for diminishing the feminine nature in his version of the tale and creating “goodness” based on Christian piety, rather than the virtue of Custance as a woman.

 Chaucer--Physician
Considerable comment might have been expected in Chaucer's day if a tale involved "a thousand peple" who break into a courtroom and release the defendant, while locking up his judge and accusers.
Brown reads the tale as Chaucer's continuation of the theme of the pilgrimage as a journey toward a moral cure, one which only can be found at its end.
This study treats the tale as the Physician's failed attempt to dramatize Virginia's pathetic sacrifice, a shift in meaning from the tale's sources which emphasized the corrupt male officials who plot against her.

The remaining pieces are either from the Medieval period, and are likely to have been known by Chaucer and his contemporaries, or relate to an allusion in Chaucer.
Among the secular lyrics, the only song on the CD written by Chaucer is the "Roundel of the Birds" taken from The Parliament of Fowles.
The bawdiness of many of Chaucer s tales reflects both an earthiness and a sophisticated use of metaphor and euphemism.

 EXEMPLARIA: Teaching Chaucer in the 90s Pre-print   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
While the uncritical praise of his pilgrims by Chaucer the naive pilgrim-narrator is qualified by numerous ironies, Chaucer's generosity also reassures the reader of the author's trust in the healing power of the pilgrimage, not a small part of which springs from the fellowship the pilgrims share in telling and responding to their tales.
Chaucer is not only aware of the traditional roles of medieval poets, story-tellers and church authors as exponents of generic manipulation, he will not let his audience escape without being bombarded by two, three, or more discrete discursive modes at the same time.
Chaucer's writings even conform to the requirements for guaranteed admission to the canon of "classic" works: Blur your authorial persona beyond redefinition and endow the most poignant moments of your work with as many levels of ambiguity as possible.

The tale Chaucer's Man of Law tells regularly presents students with genuine interpretive perplexities.
As I teach it in my Chaucer classes and in my "Medieval Women" class (both upper division and/or graduate students), the lengthy tale of Custance, her murderous mothers-in-law and her rudderless boat is perhaps the Chaucerian narrative that students at first like the least and understand the least.
Their questions and comments after they read it on their own, before my introduction, invariably center on "What are we to make of this?" "What was Chaucer up to?" "This tale goes...

“I teach a whole course on Chaucer to college students, but most high school teachers never had a whole seminar on him—they just read one or two of the Canterbury Tales as part of a survey course along with Shakespeare and lots of other writers,” Beidler says.
Beidler, who has devoted much of his career to Geoffrey Chaucer and has earned the prestigious CASE National Professor of the Year award and a Fulbright professorship to China, is well qualified to lead the seminar.
While Beidler realizes that it is unlikely any of the high school teachers in his NEH seminar will write novels, he expects them to return to their high schools to teach Chaucer’s works as they deserve to be taught.

 The Print and The Book: The Kelmscott Chaucer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
After a quick glance at the Kelmscott Chaucer, one might think the book was printed in the 15th or 16th century, not long after the printing of the Gutenberg Bible.
The publisher was the founder of the Kelmscott Press, William Morris, who was not only a noted printer and typographer, but also a famous commentator on a vast array of subjects, from the design of textiles and furniture to politics and social studies.
Morris' goal in printing his Chaucer was to produce not just a book, but a work of art, worthy of the quality of the earliest books, which Morris considered the golden era of book design and printing.

 Chaucer's Prioress - from Gloriana's Court
Most nuns certainly were pious, but, as the Prioress shows quite accurately, this well could be a sentimental religiosity rather than a solid grasp of the truths of the faith.
As Chaucer tells us, “she certainly was very entertaining, pleasant and friendly in her ways, and straining, to counterfeit a courtly kind of grace, a stately bearing fitting to her place.”
This unfortunately was rampant at the time, and both the sentiments and their being expressed in the context of a religious story would not have seemed strange to Chaucer’s pilgrims.

We can inwardly see Chaucer’s sly wink as he apologises for the roughness of the tales to follow.
Considering, as well, that marriage then was often arranged in childhood, and a love match a rarity, the situation where a young wife finds her elderly husband less than thrilling was no strange concept.
As Chaucer paints his portrait, Absalon is far from courtly, but he does seek to make his own music...

 shu vita
Chaucer's complex understanding of romance, inherited from the varied continental traditions as well as the Middle English tradition, allows him to experiment and to test the boundaries of romance's possibilities in gendered terms, but at the same time constrains the genre, imposing the gender assumptions that permit the narrative to progress.
By examining Chaucer's romance in these terms, this study reveals Chaucer's ideology of the genre as a mode both liberating and coercive of its characters and its author, and a narrative form which conceals its own secrets from its inhabitants and its public.
