Beskrivning

Situated within a larger discourse on childhood, Ages of Man theories, and debates about the status of the child in the late fourteenth century, Chaucer’s literary children—from infant to adolescent—offer a means by which to hear the voices of youth not prominently treated in social history.

Recensioner i media

“Salisbury’s book opens up a whole realm of new possibilities for reading both Chaucer and the fourteenth century, and, commendably, encourages us all to see things through the eyes of a child.” (LARISSA TRACY, English Historical Review HER, Vol. 134 (566), February, 2019)
