Like a bird of biographical prey, Ackroyd identifies his subject in an iconic image of Chaucer addressing the court of Richard II and swoops to investigate
Iain Finlayson, The Times
Extensively researched and elegantly written
Sally Cousins, Sunday Telegraph
Full, lively and eminently readable
Laurence Phelan, Independent on Sunday
Ackroyd's series of short lives bodes well: handy, attractive, well illustrated, useful
Anne Wroe, Sunday Times
This elegantly written and nicely judged biography offers a welcome reintroduction to a much-underestimated figure, and gets Ackroyd's new series of Brief Lives off to a promising start
