GEOFFREY CHAUCER

on Third Programme

by ELIZABETH SALTER
A poet whose skills and tastes can reasonably be compared with the ' miniature ' art of the late Middle Ages ... whose humour is rich and earthy ... and he is unique among medieval English poets in the drive and intensity of his mature imagination especially when concerned with human nature under great stress.
Second broadcast
The Prologue to The Canterbury Tales: Friday at 10.0 p m. followed by an interlude at 10.50
