EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the renowned English poet and author, Geoffrey Chaucer, boldly riding a rearing horse against the backdrop of the medieval landscape. The print, titled "The Merchant on a Rearing Horse," is a testament to Chaucer's status as a successful merchant and a man of means during the late 14th century. Dressed in the attire of a prosperous merchant, Chaucer holds the reins firmly with one hand while gesturing with the other, perhaps recounting a tale from his legendary collection, "The Canterbury Tales." Published circa 1387, this historical print offers a glimpse into the life of Chaucer before he became the father of English literature. Known for his innovative use of the English language and his ability to capture the essence of human nature through his stories, Chaucer's influence on English literature is immeasurable. His tales, which were among the first works to be published in the English language, have been celebrated for their wit, humor, and insight into the lives of ordinary people. The image of Chaucer on horseback is a reminder of his dual roles as a successful merchant and a gifted storyteller. Riding a horse was a symbol of wealth and status in medieval society, and this print underscores Chaucer's position as a man of substance. The rearing horse, however, adds an element of excitement and adventure to the scene, suggesting that Chaucer's life was far from ordinary. This evocative print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a unique perspective on the life of one of England's most celebrated literary figures. It is a reminder of the rich history and culture that shaped the world of Chaucer and his works, and a testament to the enduring appeal of his stories that continue to captivate readers centuries after they were first written.
