Description

Book Synopsis
Uses Chaucer's likely reading, circumstances, and literary and social affiliations as guides to understanding his poetry, within the context of late medieval English culture and the reshaping of the concept of these particular offices that suited the needs of a future whose dynamics he anticipated.

Trade Review
Staley is expert on the three offices and on medieval spirituality more generally. Her knowledge of classical, medieval, and early modern primary sources, and especially of religious and literary texts, is commanding. What makes this book so extremely interesting are its clarity, its exploration of an intriguing subject toward which very few Chaucerians have directed any attention, and, most especially, Staley's intelligence." —David Raybin, Eastern Illinois University
