Who Murdered Chaucer?: A Medieval Mystery

This book was very interesting. Teaches a lot about the time (and writings) of Chaucer. Nothing new on the death of Chaucer, but explains a lot about what the world he lived in was like, why he was so free with his writings, and how his world drastically changed around the time of his death.

interesting readable history suggesting possible explanations for chaucer's abrupt disappearance from the historical record

The theory of murder is wafer thin but none the less intriguing. Of most interest is the fresh look at the reign of Richard II and his usurpation by Henry Bolingbroke.Beautifully illustrated
