This new introduction to Chaucer has been radically rewritten since
the previous edition which was published in 1984. The book is a
controversial and modern restatement of some of the traditional
views on Chaucer, and seeks to present a rounded introduction to
his life, cultural setting and works. Professor Brewer takes into
account recent literary criticism, both challenging new ideas and
using them in his analysis of Chaucer's work. Above all, there is a
strong emphasis on leading the reader to understand and enjoy the
poetry and prose, and to try to understand Chaucer's values which
are often seen to oppose modern principles. A New Introduction to
Chaucer is the result of Derek Brewer's distinguished career
spanning fifty years of research and study of Chaucer and
contemporary scholarship and criticism. New interpretations of many
of the poems are presented including a detailed account of the Book
of the Duchess. Derek Brewer's fresh and narrative style of writing
will appeal to all who are interested in Chaucer, from sixth-form
and undergraduate students who are new to Chaucer's work through to
more advanced students and lecturers.
