A wide range of new scholarship on Chaucer's poetry. This
collection of essays makes available a wide range of new
scholarship on Chaucer's poetry. Opening essays address the issues
of "Chaucerian representation" and "Chaucerian poetics", arguing
for the multiplicity and complexityof what Chaucer "represents" and
for the importance of his dual Anglo-French background in enabling
him to articulate that complexity. Chaucer's use of Ovidian and
Ciceronian sources and ideas is examined, and his pursuit of
simplicity and suspicion of "delicacy"; the potent issues of
sexuality and spirituality, and money and death (with Chaucer's own
ending and his thoughts on last things) complete the collection.

Tiger Price, a.k.a TP, takes on his first investigative case after
retiring from the prison system. The doors of his new business have
been open less than an hour when he receives a package from
lifelong friend Paul Peck, with photographs depicting a gruesome
murder scene. Paul's son is on trial for murder, and he hopes his
old friend can help prove his son's innocence. Tiger is wedged
within the confines of a courtroom as he desperately tries to
present the court with proof that his best friend's son is innocent
of murder. Tiger tangles with judges, district attorneys, court
clerks, and a shrewd DA investigator before reaching the core of
his case. As he takes his investigation to the streets of Los
Angeles, he encounters bums, hookers, drug dealers, and street
gangsters. This dark counter-culture is filled with danger and
deceit. In the midst of his investigation, Tiger Price joins forces
with an unlikely partner who is properly equipped to infiltrate the
venomous streets of Los Angeles. Tiger Price is relentless in his
investigation, hoping that an innocent verdict can be reached.

In the second half of the 19th century, America transformed itself
into an industrial power, ready to assume a dominant position on
the world scene in the 20th century. The development of
industrialization and the consumer society brought about
opportunities for many Americans as part of an ever-growing middle
class, but also resulted in environmental and social degradation
that we continue to deal with at the present time.
