EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment as renowned English author and social commentator, Geoffrey Chaucer, prepares to deliver a summons on horseback, circa 1387. Chaucer, dressed in the robes of a Summoner, holds the parchment tightly in his hand, his expression determined and focused. The scene takes place against the backdrop of the bustling market town of Canterbury, with its medieval architecture and lively activity. Chaucer's role as a Summoner was a significant one during this period, as it involved the enforcement of legal orders and the collection of debts. This responsibility, along with his literary pursuits, provided Chaucer with a unique perspective on the society of his time. The year 1387 is an important one in Chaucer's history, as it marks the beginning of his work on "The Canterbury Tales," a collection of stories that would go on to become one of the most influential works in English literature. This period also saw the publication of his other notable works, such as "The House of Fame" and "The Book of the Duchess." As Chaucer rides through the town, delivering his summonses, he would have been surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of daily life. The marketplace, teeming with merchants, craftsmen, and travelers, would have provided ample inspiration for the vivid and diverse characters that populate "The Canterbury Tales." This image offers a glimpse into the world of Chaucer, a man who straddled the line between the legal and literary spheres, and whose works continue to captivate and inspire readers more than six centuries later.
