This title was first published in 2002: The purpose of "Chaucer's
Church" is to provide clear, concise and reliable explanations of
every term Chaucer uses that has a religious, liturgical, or
ecclesiastical meaning. It uses a dictionary format, arranged
according to Chaucer's spellings, to make information readily
accessible for students, teachers, critics, and the general reader.
The shorter entries present brief definitions which are more lively
and illuminating than those in standard dictionaries or glossaries;
the longer entries are in fact short essays, with suggestions for
further reading, on broader or more complex topics. In all cases
the entries concentrate on lucid and accurate presentation of the
meanings that the terms had or could have had for Chaucer and a
14th-century audience. The book is a compact but precise reference
for readers of all levels of experience on the vocabulary of
fourteenth-century religion, which is often unfamiliar or only
hazily understood. A careful system of cross-references guides the
reader to related terms, so that individual entries can be further
explored in related or larger contexts. The book may also be
browsed or read on its own, for the entries taken together,
especially the brief essays, provide a coherent introduction to the
Christian world of the late fourteenth century. In Chaucer's
Church, the editors have succeeded in compiling a volume that
combines ease of use with readability and rigorous accuracy. This
book provides convenient and trustworthy access to Chaucer's
religious world.
