Book synopsis

Examining the reasons behind Chaucer's transformation into a touchstone for the whole of the Anglophone Middle Ages, this text argues that the status of Chaucer's physical body is an index of the status of his work, and that there is a link between corpse and corpus in our assertions of positive and negative literary values from Chaucer's time on.
