Publisher's Synopsis
The Ancestry of Chaucer is a book written by Alfred Allan Kern and published in 1907. The book is a comprehensive study of the ancestry of the famous English poet, Geoffrey Chaucer. Kern delves deep into the historical records and genealogies to trace Chaucer's family lineage back to the 12th century. The book provides a detailed account of the social and cultural context in which Chaucer's ancestors lived, and how their lives and experiences may have influenced Chaucer's own work as a poet. Kern also explores the connections between Chaucer's family and other notable figures of the time, such as John of Gaunt and the Plantagenet dynasty. The Ancestry of Chaucer is a valuable resource for scholars and students of medieval literature and history, as well as anyone interested in the life and work of one of England's most celebrated poets.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
