𝔸𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕊𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕤 🔉The Description Of Sir Geoffrey Chaucer by Robert Greene (1558–1592)HIS stature was not very tall, Lean he was, his legs were small, Hosed within a sock of red, A buttoned bonnet on his head, From under which did hang, I ween, Silver hairs both bright and sheen. His beard was white, trimmèd round, His countenance blithe and merry found. His sleeveless jacket large and wide, With many plights and skirts side, Of water camlet did he wear; A whittle by his belt he wear, His shoes were cornered, broad before, His inkhorn at his side he wore, And in his hand he bore a book. Thus did this ancient poet look. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/chaucer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chaucer</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/WhanThatAprilleDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhanThatAprilleDay</a>

Guill.Jones, Honorary CanadianYou reminded me, CatSalad, of the opening lines of Kermit's Canterbury Tales:"Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote, The droghte of March hath perced to the roote, And bathed every veyne in swich licóur Of which vertú engendred is the flour; ...So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages, Thanne longen frogges to goon on pilgrimages..." <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CanterburyTales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CanterburyTales</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Chaucer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chaucer</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/KermitTheFrog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KermitTheFrog</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Froggys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Froggys</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Frogges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Frogges</a>

skuaAIUI the Church quickly turns Tom into a martyr. Pilgimages to Canterbury Cathedral boom. Did having Tom as a martyr make the King , as instigator, an unholy abuser, at least until he's forgiven?

What is a dream, he asks, and what is a nightmare. Why do we all have different visions? Why do we dream at all? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chaucer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chaucer</a>

Edwards, professor of medieval manuscripts at the University of Kent in Canterbury, England, laments the removal of Geoffrey Chaucer from university curricula. Edwards says he believes this disappearance may be propelled by a vocal cohort of scholars who see the 'father of English poetry' as a rapist, racist and antisemite.The predicament would have amused Chaucer himself. Jewish and feminist scholars, among others, are shooting down one of their earliest and wisest allies. This is happening when new research reveals a Chaucer altogether different from what many current readers have come to accept. My decades of research show he was no raunchy proponent of bro culture but a daring and ingenious defender of women and the innocent.As a medievalist who teaches Chaucer, I believe the movement to cancel Chaucer has been bamboozled by his tradecraft – his consummate skill as a master of disguise.(. . .)Critics cherry-pick quotations to support their claims about Chaucer. But if you examine his writings in detail, as I have, you’ll see themes of concern for women and human rights, the oppressed and the persecuted, reappear time and time again.Chaucer the spyReaders often assume Chaucer’s characters were a reflection of the writer’s own attitude because he is such a convincing role player. Chaucer’s career in the English secret service trained him as an observer, analyst, diplomat and master at concealing his own views.In his teens, Chaucer became a confidential envoy for England. From 1359 to 1378, he graced English diplomatic delegations and carried out missions described in expense records only as 'the king’s secret business.'"<a href="https://theconversation.com/calls-to-cancel-chaucer-ignore-his-defense-of-women-and-the-innocent-and-assume-all-his-characters-opinions-are-his-152312" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/calls-to-cancel-chaucer-ignore-his-defense-of-women-and-the-innocent-and-assume-all-his-characters-opinions-are-his-152312</a>
