Chaucer and the Making of Optical Space (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 19 working days

The author links Chaucer's writings with the medieval optical
tradition in its various forms (scholastic texts, encyclopedias,
exempla, vernacular poetry) both in general cultural terms and
through the discussion of specific examples. He shows how the
science of optics, or perspectiva, provides an account of spatial
perception, including visual error, and demonstrates how these
aspects of optical theory impact on Chaucer's poetry. He provides
detailed and sustained analysis of the spatial content of
narratives across the range of Chaucer's works, relating them to
optical ideas and making use of Lefebvre's theory of the production
of space. The texts discussed include the Book of the Duchess,
House of Fame, Knight's Tale, Miller's Tale, Reeve's Tale,
Merchant's Tale, Squire's Tale and Troilus and Criseyde.
