Chaucer as "Everyman"

We apparantly got the "okay" from Blogspot. We have been taken off the Spam blog list, so keep it clean!

Geoffrey Chaucer was one of the first writers in English to write for a popular audience. His is the pop culture lit of his time. Although he was a patron of the court, it is clear from The Canterbury Tales that he was not only writing for the elite.

Decide whether or not you agree with that assessment and then show what evidence in the "Prologue" and in "The Knights Tale" you would point to to support your opinion.
