It's often forgotten today that Tolkien was considered one of his generation's leading Chaucer scholars- not for nothing did Masefield choose him to recite Nun's Priest's and Reeve's* at the 1938 and 39 Summer Diversions. Unfortunately, hardly a word on Chaucer by Tolkien ever reached publication- what a dragon-hoard of unfinished works Tolkien accumulated!
*Yes, in the original. From memory.
