“Katherine Heinrichs proves her case so effectively and at such length (in the process rehabilitating a number of works whose modern critical reputations have suffered from unwarranted charges of incoherence and insignificance) that all serious scholarship on these poems in the future will have to take her book as their point of departure. This is a book that not only makes Chaucer’s earlier poetry more accessible but also enhances our appreciation of the subtlety and artistry of such underrated poets as Machaut and Froissart.”
