- 7726: Canterbury Tales: Who is the Narrator?

Writers in the Church not only taught in grammar schools, cathedral schools, and universities; they also preserved old manuscripts and produced new ones. For hundreds of years the high ranking church and monastic officials (who were generally the most educated of the churchmen) acted as the wardens of books, and kept Greek and Latin alive so that ancient documents could be read. The churchman had a double intellectual duty: to protect this storehouse of wisdom, and to add to it by writing new texts on history, theology, and philosophy. But, because of the technical demands of producing books, not every writer in the Church was a writer as we think of writers now. Rather than creating new ...
