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.
