- Description
- Benson urges that Chaucer be returned from merely professional scholarship to the mainstream of English literature and finds that structuralist, poststructuralist, Marxist, and feminist theories give new perspectives on Chaucer's work. Equally, however, we must recognize that Chaucer is a Christian poet--though not in the rigid Robertsonian sense--whose religious tales are some of the finest Christian poetry in our language.
