Description:
A New Introduction to Chaucer offers a modern restatement of traditional views on the great medieval poet, Chaucer. Radically rewritten since the previous edition, this work presents a comprehensive introduction to Chaucer's life, cultural context, and literary works. It incorporates recent literary criticism while challenging new ideas and using them to deepen the analysis of Chaucer's poetry and prose. With an emphasis on understanding Chaucer’s values, often at odds with modern principles, the book makes his work accessible and enjoyable. The new edition includes fresh interpretations of many poems, including a detailed analysis of The Book of the Duchess. Written in an engaging and narrative style, this book is suitable for students and scholars alike.
