Description
An introduction to Chaucer that surveys critical issues and concentrates on how oppositions are posed in his poetry rather than resolved. Topics include the following: The Chaucer Business; Life, Works, Reputation; Dream, Text, Truth; Society, Sexuality, Spirituality; Readers, Listeners, Audience; Nature, Culture, Carnival; Wives and Husbands; Law and Order; and "The Father of English Poetry," which emphasizes Chaucer's internationalism.
