First published in 1990, Chaucer and the Social Contest takes a
fresh view of The Canterby Tales, by placing the storytelling
contest among the Canterbury pilgrims within the larger social
contests in the changing England of the late fourteenth century.
The author focuses on three crucial fields of contention: the
division of social duties into the three estates, the controversies
around Wycliffite thought and practice, and the roles of women.
Drawing on recent literary theory, particularly Bakhtin and
Foucault, Peggy Knapp offers both a reading of nearly all the tales
and an argument about how such readings come about, both for
Chaucer's earliest audiences and for us.
