| Summary | "Chaucer's Official Life" by James R. Hulbert is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. This work investigates the significant yet often overlooked details of Geoffrey Chaucer's life, particularly focusing on his relationships and interactions within the English court, especially with influential figures such as John of Gaunt. The book aims to clarify the facts surrounding Chaucer's career and to dispel conjectures about his patronage that have permeated biographical accounts over the decades. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of the rise of Chaucer through meticulous research and analysis of historical records. It begins with an acknowledgment of prior scholars' contributions while also signaling an intention to establish a more fact-based narrative of Chaucer's life. The introduction details the challenges faced in accurately ascertaining details about Chaucer’s appointments, financial rewards, and political ties, as well as the various official capacities he held throughout his career. Hulbert plans to offer a thorough evaluation by comparing Chaucer's experiences with those of his contemporaries to elucidate whether Chaucer's advancements were due to personal merit or the effects of favoritism stemming from his association with powerful patrons.
