Originally published in 1992. Although they were apparently much
appreciated in his own time, Chaucer's lyrics have for most of the
modern era been the most neglected of his poetic productions. This
work offers a comprehensive overview of Chaucer's lyric corpus. The
author extends his scope to include in-depth discussions of
literary and cultural influences that have their impact on
Chaucer's lyrics. Students who come to Chaucer's poems for the
first time will here receive an excellent introduction to each
poem, the important literary issues surrounding the poem as defined
by previous scholarship, and Ruud's own clear style and balanced
judgment. The persuasive proofs for Chaucer's lyric innovations and
his special style of poetry will also be of interest to Chaucerian
specialist academics. The book traces Chaucer's development as a
lyric poet, from more conventional early works to more
individualized later ones.
