There is something innocent, sweet, and perhaps inaccessible about Geoffrey Chaucer. He regarded sex as one of God's blessings. His devout and lusty pilgrims wending their garrulous way to Canterbury have an easy intimacy with natural odors, natural functions and the natural affections of men and women.

McGill could detest the ideas of his enemies, but not the men themselves, nor could those who got to know him fail to respect him. In the '30s and '40s McGill and Georgia's demagogic then-Governor Eugene Talmadge engaged in repeated public disputes, but Talmadge seriously asked McGill to write his biography-and McGill never could convince...
