New Chaucer podcast with Professor Marion Turner

Professor Marion Turner features in a new podcast for BBC History on Chaucer.

The podcast explores the life of the 14th-century poet, arguing that we need to look beyond his status as the ‘father of English literature’ to discover his connections to European culture.
