This
is the story of a woman’s life—her childhood, her education, her
marriage and family. But mostly, this is the story of a woman who, back
at college in her middle age, found herself immersed in a centuries old
mytery that captured her mind and imagination. The mystery that
entranced Dolores was centered in the poet and storyteller Geoffrey
Chaucer. She fell in love with his words, his
language, his Middle English. And she found in Chaucer’s works,
primarily in The Canterbury Tales, meanings hidden and brillliant.
However, when she took her discoveries to the established academic
scholars, she was dismissed as an amateur and her ideas were scorned
because they were original and did not fit the established model. She
stuck to her guns, found support and encouragement from a few
open-minded scholars, and went on to publish a trilogy of
ground-breaking literary criticism about Chaucer’s greatest work. This is a memoir of devotion,
joy, and persistence.
