Chaucer: The Basics is an accessible introduction to the works of
Geoffrey Chaucer. It provides a clear critical analysis of the
texts, while also providing some necessary background to key
medieval ideas and the historical period in which he lived.
Jacqueline Tasioulas gives a brief account of Chaucer's life in its
historical and cultural context and also introduces the reader to
some of the key religious and philosophical ideas of the period.
The essentials of the language and pronunciation are introduced
through close reading in a section dedicated to demystifying this
often alien-seeming aspect of studying Chaucer. Including a whole
chapter devoted to poetry the book also discusses key works, such
as: The Book of the Duchess The House of Fame The Parliament of
Fowls Troilus and Criseyde The Legend of Good Women The Canterbury
Tales With glosses and translations of texts, a glossary of key
terms and a timeline, this book is essential reading for anyone
studying Chaucer and medieval literature.
