Chaucerian Ecopoetics performs ecocritical close readings of
Geoffrey Chaucer's poetry. Shawn Normandin explains how Chaucer's
language demystifies the aesthetic charm of his narratives and
calls into question the anthropocentrism they often depict. This
text combines ecocriticism with reading techniques associated with
deconstruction, to provide innovative interpretations of the
General Prologue, the Knight's Tale, the Miller's Tale, the Reeve's
Tale, the Franklin's Tale, the Physician's Tale, and the Monk's
Tale. In stressing the importance of rhetorical nuance and literary
form, Chaucerian Ecopoetics enables readers to better understand
the ideological prehistory of today's environmental crisis.
