You seem to say w/out trying too hard, that Chaucer was an
experienced man, safe in his own skin, aware of the variety that lives around us, global to accept each human trait and trend, but wise enough not to be impacted. As such he makes the perfect writer, devoid of intense personal, subjective criticism, condemnation, acceptance, rejection, inclusiveness or exclusive; with the capacity to structure scenes, dialogue, etc. in a way that reveals fallacies, wrongheadedness of some, and wisdom, virtue, etc, in others.
That makes him a really -- or makes a compelling case for selling his authorship. Bravo!

Well done! I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the Canterbury Tales, it goes all the way back to senior English in high school! What a marvelous piece! Shelly
