| Sumario: | "This guide places The Canterbury Tales in the context of the crisis in English society in the fourteenth century. It examines the social diversity of Chaucer's pilgrims, the stylistic range of their tales and the psychological richness of their interaction. Emphasis is placed on the language of the poem, the place of Chaucer in subsequent literary tradition, and an entire chapter is devoted to the General Prologue, which is widely studied in courses. Finally, the volume offers a chronology of the period and an invaluable guide to further reading."--Jacket |
