Scope and content

Letter from C.S. Lewis to E.M. Trehern (matriculated in 1933).

It was certainly true that Chaucer's unintended successors valued his other works more then the Canterbury Tales but he had seen more about the Tales in major Elizabethan writers especially those which attacked the Medieval Church which was welcome to Protestants.

He also thought that Chaucer's comic work was better than his serious doggerel. But he might be wrong.
