| | A Comparison of Four Loathely Damsel Tales |
 | | The Middle English tales, The Tale of Florent, The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle, The Marriage of Sir Gawain and Chaucer's The Wife of Bath's Tale are all part of a vast collection of Middle English tales that contain a strikingly similar storyline. | | | Chaucer's addition to the legend that is perhaps the most obvious answer to John Gower's philosophies is the lady's argument on the nature of gentility. | | | Chaucer's Pilgrims are not merely the aristocrats of English society, but the basest of the base as well. |

| | It reveals Chaucer as a curious and sociable character, rather like the man who scurried about meeting and talking to all the nine and twenty pilgrims that gathered at the Tabard. | | | There is a certain consistency in the character of Chaucer as he appears in his works, and occasional biographical passages, such as this from The House of Fame, seem to ring true: | | | This has the ring of truth, and yet we can never be sure how much is true and how much a role that Chaucer adopts for his poetic self. |

| | The Pearl Poet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | We know that the poet was a contemporary of Geofrey Chaucer's, and it is tantalizing to imagine that Chaucer is referring to the Pearl Poet when he says that he is incapable of writing interlocking lines the way others do. | | | However, the Pearl Poet never refers to contemporary scholarship, the way that Chaucer does, and shows much more of a tendency to refer to legendary materials from the past than any new learning, so it is impossible to place the poet at court, the universities, or monasteries. | | | Save for the latter (found in BL-MS Harley 2250), all of his works are known from the British Library holding Cotton Nero A x. |

| | Poet Laureate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Medieval English kings included versifiers and minstrels in their retinues, and lent their patronage to poets such as Chaucer and Spenser. | | | According to Gibbon, Francesco Petrarch (1304-74) of Rome, perhaps best known for his sonnets to the fair-haired, blue-eyed Laura, took the title poet laureate in 1341. | | | In the 15th century, John Kay, also a "versifier", described himself as Edward IV's "humble poet laureate." The crown had shown its patronage in various ways; Chaucer had been given a pension and a perquisite of wine by Edward III, and Spenser a pension by Queen Elizabeth. |

| | Chaucer as Modern Synthesizer |
| | Chaucer emphasized the Churchs corruption and greed, especially in Canterbury tales. | | | The monk in particular is described as man who "Did not care for that text plucked hen which says that hunters are not holy men, and that a monk, when he is heedless of duty, is like a fish out of water"(Chaucer 6). | | | Chaucer is implying that the monk would rather hunt than pray, which is odd for a man of the cloth and especially for one on a religious pilgrimage. |
