Description
Surveys the German reception of Chaucer's works between 1934 and 1947, specifically the role of philological approaches and their adaptability or resistance to Nazi ideologies. Utz stresses Ernst Robert Curtius's role in re-establishing prestige and continuity for philology in post-war Germany and Europe.
