Summary "Chaucer and His England" by G. G. Coulton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work serves as an informal commentary on the life and times of Geoffrey Chaucer, aiming to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the poet's context and contributions. It delves into the intricacies of medieval society and the pivotal events in Chaucer's life, exploring how these elements influenced his writings. The opening of the book sets the stage by highlighting the dynamic nature of the 14th century in England, which was a time of significant change and development. It discusses the socio-political landscape during Chaucer's lifetime, suggesting that this was an era rich in opportunity for a poet of his caliber. The text reflects on England's gradual shift towards a more unified national identity and legal system, emphasizing the importance of vernacular languages, which culminated in Chaucer's choice to write in English. Through poetic references and evocative prose, the opening effectively captures the essence of the England that shaped Chaucer, while also hinting at the complexities of his character and the broader cultural shifts underway during his time.
