This fresh and comprehensive guide to Chaucer's most famous poem
"The Canterbury Tales" introduces readers to Chaucer's life and
times and reconsiders both the impact and the context of its
inception. It carefully details Chaucer's cultural and literary
world, as well as reviewing the publishing history of the Tales and
examining some of the issues surrounding the nature of the material
production of medieval texts. In addition, it raises matters of
'Englishness' and Chaucer's choice of the vernacular in which to
write his works. A highly-readable survey of the critical reception
of the Tales, from early responses to recent critical perspectives,
works together with a series of exemplary, close readings of key
tales and ideas to explore questions such as narrative voice,
genre, language and form, gender and authority. This introduction
to the text is the ideal companion to study, offering guidance on:
literary and historical context; language, style and form; reading
"The Canterbury Tales"; critical reception and publishing history;
adaptation and interpretation; and, further reading. Continuum
Reader's Guides are clear, concise and accessible introductions to
key texts in literature and philosophy. Each book explores the
themes, context, criticism and influence of key works, providing a
practical introduction to close reading, guiding students towards a
thorough understanding of the text. They provide an essential,
up-to-date resource, ideal for undergraduate students.
