This study is an investigation of a subject never explored before:
the translations and the reception in Denmark of the most important
English poet from the Middle Ages - Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?-1400) -
from the first appearance in 1782 of a transformation of one of his
Canterbury Tales - The Wife of Bath's Tale - to the present day.
The book analyzes the story of Chaucer in Denmark also as an
exemplary study of the history of English education, culture,
language, and literature in Denmark. It demonstrates that the
cultural transmission of Chaucer is historically bound by the
changing cultural ties between the English speaking world and
Denmark. In this way, the story of Chaucer in Denmark becomes an
illustrative and very complicated story of cultural change.
