Entries, both short and long, from 'Aaron' to 'Zodiac', provide information on Chaucer's life and times, his works and the characteristics in them, his language and metre, his reading and the creative uses he made of it, and
on his major moral and literary themes. Extensive reference is also made to the development of critical opinion about his works over the centuries.
