Chaucer's best-known poem, The Canterbury Tales, is justly
celebrated for its richness and variety, both literary - the Tales
include fabliaux, romances, sermons, hagiographies, fantasies,
satires, treatises, fables and exempla - and thematic, with its
explorations of courtly love and scatology, piety and impiety,
chivalry and pacifism, fidelity and adultery. Students new to
Chaucer will find in this Companion a lively introduction to the
poem's diversity, depth, and wonder. Readers returning to the Tales
will appreciate the chapters' fresh engagement with the individual
tales and their often complicated critical histories, inflected in
recent decades by critical approaches attentive to issues of
gender, sexuality, class, and language.
