This book addresses portrayals of children in a wide array of ChaucerianÂ works. Situated within a larger discourse on childhood, Ages of ManÂ theories, and debates about the status of the child in the late fourteenthÂ century, Chaucer literary childrenâ€”from infant to adolescentâ€”offer aÂ means by which to hear the voices of youth not prominently treated inÂ social history. The readings in this study urge our attention to literaryÂ children, encouraging us to think more thoroughly about the ChaucerianÂ collection from their perspectives. Eve Salisbury argues that the child isÂ neither missing in the late Middle Ages nor in Chaucer work, but is,rather, fundamental to the institutions of the time and central to theÂ poet concerns.
