Reviews for Chaucer and the Child
“Salisbury’s book opens up a whole realm of new possibilities for reading both Chaucer and the fourteenth century, and, commendably, encourages us all to see things through the eyes of a child.” (LARISSA TRACY, English Historical Review HER, Vol. 134 (566), February, 2019)
