Description
Geoffrey Chaucer was a spy, a diplomat, and England's finest poet, and yet nothing is known of his death; after 1400, his name simply disappears from the record. Was he the victim of a political murder? In this book, Terry Jones reassesses Chaucer's work and the turbulent times in which he lived.
