Historians on Chaucer : the 'General Prologue' to the Canterbury Tales
Chaucer, Geoffrey, Minnis, Alastair J., Rigby, Stephen Henry
As literary scholars have long insisted, an interdisciplinary approach is vital if modern readers are to make sense of works of medieval literature. In particular, rather than reading the works of medieval authors as addressing us across the centuries about some timeless or ahistorical 'human condition', critics from a wide range of theoretical approaches have in recent years shown how the work of poets such as Chaucer constituted engagements with the power relations and social inequalities of their time.
Abstract: Historians on Chaucer brings together 25 experts in the history of fourteenth-century England to discuss one of the most famous works of Middle English literature-Geoffrey Chaucer's 'General Prologue' to the Canterbury Tales-in relation to the economic change, social issues, and religious controversies of the period.
