- Description
- A critical biography of Haweis that emphasizes her work as a Chaucer scholar, critic, editor, and illustrator, explaining her accomplishments in relation to the better-known Chaucerians of the nineteenth century and exploring why her influence is not more widely acknowledged today. Includes discussion of Haweis's texts for children and schools, and other publications on Chaucer, identifying innovative approaches and issues that later became widespread critical concerns: the paternity of Thomas Chaucer, real-life models for Chaucer's characters, his "special communication with an implied audience," appreciation of MilT, and bridging popular and academic approaches to Chaucer's works.
