The General Prologue to the canterbury tales has long been
central to the English literary canon. Jodi-Anne George provides a
detailed introduction to the most important critical debates
surrounding The General Prologue.
The extracts and essays included here date from as early as
1368, when Eustace Deschamps paid the first recorded tribute to
Chaucer's genius, and move chronologically through to the late
1990s. The selections address the opinions of early editors of
Chaucer as well as the continuing interest in the poet by other
writers throughout the ages. Sociological, gender-based,
historical, and structural readings of The General Prologue are
also represented.
