chaucer as the social chronicler of his country and not reformer
chaucer PROLOGUE TO HE CANTERBURRY TALES is a mirror reflecting the social life of his age from top to the bottom. Keats said "chaucer work is the most precious document for whoever wishes to evoke a picture of life as it then was, precisely because he had no regard for the conventional hierarchy of men and events because he went to the most common placeamong them and purposely selected these as being more comprehensively representative."
