'Dr Furnivall and Mother like the same old books': Mary Haweis and the Experience of Reading Chaucer in the Nineteenth Century
- Published
- Philologie im Netz Supplement 4 (2009): 5-20.
- Description
- Describes how Mary Haweis's 1877 publication of "Chaucer for Children: A Golden Key" brought Chaucer's stories to the domestic realm of women and children as a tool for organization and education. Connolly suggests that Haweis authored later books such as "Chaucer for Schools" (1881) and "Tales of Chaucer" (1887) with the aim of commoditizing Chaucer and her texts.
