First published in 1980, this study of two renowned later
fourteenth century English poets, Chaucer and Langland,
concentrates on some major and representative aspects of their
work. Aers shows that, in contrast to the mass conventional writing
of the period, which was happy to accept and propagate traditional
ideologies, Chaucer and Langland were preoccupied with actual
conflicts, strains, and developments in received ideologies and
social practices. He demonstrates that they were genuinely
exploratory, and created work which actively questioned dominant
ideologies, even those which they themselves revered and hoped to
affirm. For Chaucer and Langland the imagination was indeed
creative, involved in the active construction of meanings, and in
their poetry they grasped and explored social commitments,
religious developments and many perplexing contradictions which
were subverting inherited paradigms.
