The book is virtually unique in providing, in a single volume, a
comprehensive analysis of The General Prologue which reflects the
latest thinking. It places the work in the context of the social
change in late fourteenth century England. The detailed reading of
each section of the poem is supported by the author's own
modernization of the text which enables the reader fully to
understand Chaucer's Middle English. Also included, for purposes of
comparison, are selections from contemporary writers such as
Langland and Gower. The description of each pilgrim is analyzed in
socio-historical terms, but emphasis is also placed on the writing
as poetry. The author's aim is to give the reader the confidence to
develop his/her own understanding of a work which is an essential
part of the European literary heritage.
