Book Synopsis A Reading of the Canterbury Tales by : Bernard Felix Hupp?
Download or read book A Reading of the Canterbury Tales written by Bernard Felix Hupp? and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1964-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the human comedy of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales the pilgrims react to one another. The tales they tell reveal their own characters and serve in turn to supply dramatic settings for other tales told in response. In the chronicle of their self-revelations and of their reactions to one another, a thematic design may be traced. Chaucer's art of high comedy has behind it a literary tradition of which it is the fulfillment. Briefly this is the thesis of Professor Bernard F. Huppé's A Reading of the Canterbury Tales. The book itself is the direct result of more than fifteen years of lecturing on the Canterbury Tales, during which time Professor Huppé's views on the dramatic structure of the tales have been modified, clarified, and sharpened through discussion with students and colleagues, and through his study of Chaucer's literary tradition. A Reading of the Canterbury Tales retains the freshness and immediacy of a lecture series. It is intended to be provocative and to stimulate active discussion.
Book Synopsis A Reading of the Canterbury Tales by : Trevor Whittock
Download or read book A Reading of the Canterbury Tales written by Trevor Whittock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1968-10-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 1968 study, Dr Whittock argues that there is greater unity in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales than has been supposed. He sees the Canterbury Tales as as great religious poem, a Christian work of art in which certain topics deliberately recur, so that the Tales in sequence take on the nature of a debate on death, the role of women, marriage, the truth or deception of art, the function of evil in the Creator's plan, temporal imperfection, and the hidden mystery of God's being. The author illustrates his theme through a detailed examination of each of the Tales in turn.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to the Canterbury Tales by : Helen Phillips
Download or read book An Introduction to the Canterbury Tales written by Helen Phillips and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introduction to the Canterbury Tales for students is accessible to first time readers of Chaucer and is also a significant critical study in its own right. It gives full separate readings of each tale, together with clear expositions of the historical and literary backgrounds. Using modern theoretical perspectives, the book focuses particularly on gender, political and narratological approaches. The humour in the Tales and Chaucer's gifts for story telling and dialogue are rooted in an extraordinary perceptiveness about timeless subjects such as human vanity, class consciousness, snobbery, rivalry, robust honesty and self-sacrificing love. This book provides both a clear guide to all aspects of the Canterbury Tales and insight into why it continues to be of importance to modern readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all its great reputation and the affection in which it is held, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, written in 14th century Middle English, can actually be a daunting prospect to read. Richard Cuddington now steps in with a novel approach to Chaucer's famous gallery of pilgrims with their tales of chivalry, romance, courtly love, treachery, avarice, bawdiness, humour and nobility. Whether you're new to the tales, or perhaps a teacher looking to enthuse and stimulate your students, or simply thinking of re-reading them, you will find here a thoroughly entertaining and immediately accessible way in to the storytelling genius of Chaucer in simple and amusing rhyming verse.

Book excerpt: With their astonishing diversity of tone and subject matter, The Canterbury Tales have become one of the touchstones of medieval literature. Translated here into modern English, these tales of a motley crew of pilgrims drawn from all walks of life--from knight to nun, miller to monk--reveal a picture of English life in the fourteenth century that is as robust as it is representative.

Book Synopsis Chaucer in Modern English Prose The Canterbury Tales by : John Edmonds
Download or read book Chaucer in Modern English Prose The Canterbury Tales written by John Edmonds and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in modern English prose. Already Middle English is sufficiently obscure to deter even those interested in English literature. How many have read the whole of the Canterbury Tales? Even fewer will have read his other works. The purpose of this book is to allow the reader easy access to Chaucer's meaning apart from the poetic presentation. This is to put more emphasis on what he says rather than the way he says it. Chaucer's works are a commentary on 14th century life and literature, much of it in prose. There are then two reasons for reading Chaucer. One is for social history, and the other for his poetry. To separate the two can only make his work more accessible. Hopefully this will lead to a greater appreciation of medieval English literature in general.
