Tolkien and Chaucer

I review a very interesting new book on this subject over on the Notion Club Papers blog. Of course, the number of people who are interested in JRR Tolkien's detailed biolgraphy and also Chaucer, are likely to be few; but if you are one of them (or aspire to be) - or if you are interested by the minute details of Oxford academic life (and the University Press operations) in the middle 20th century - the Inklings era - then you might want to take a look at the book under review Tolkien's Lost Chaucer by JM Bowers.
