Book Synopsis Chaucer and Medieval Estates Satire by : Mann
Download or read book Chaucer and Medieval Estates Satire written by Mann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1973-06-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to discover the origins and significance of the General Prologue-to the Canterbury Tales. The interest of such an inquiry is many-sided. On the one hand, it throws light on the question of whether `life' or 'literature' was Chaucer's model in this work, on the relationship between Chaucer's twenty-odd pilgrims and the structure of medieval society, and on the role of their `estate' in determining the elements of which Chaucer composes their portraits. On the other hand, it makes suggestions about the ways in which Chaucer convinces us of the individuality of his pilgrims, about the nature of his irony, and the kind of moral standards implicit in the Prologue. This book suggests that Chaucer is ironically substituting for the traditional moral view of social structure a vision of a world where morality becomes as specialised to the individual as his work-life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey Chaucer Mysteries - Book Three 'A central character and a story that will leave readers clamouring for more.' Booklist 1373. Geoffrey Chaucer, diplomat, king's agent and aspiring poet, is despatched to the Devon port of Dartmouth. A ship from the Italian city of Genoa has been deliberately wrecked and its cargo stolen. A treaty between England and Genoa is at risk. Chaucer must find the perpetrators. Chaucer and his travelling companions are lodged with a wealthy doctor of physic, Richard Storey, and his new, young wife, Sara. The fine house, overlooking the river Dart, is full of intrigue and suspicion between its members and visitors, who include a much-married woman, a softly spoken herbalist and the madam of a local brothel. When a murder occurs, Chaucer's mission grows more perilous still. And there are rumours that the shipwrecked boat contained no ordinary cargo but an object that is worth a king's ransom. Worth killing for. Recommended for fans of CJ Sansom, Steven Saylor and Andrew Taylor. Philip Gooden is a historical novelist and contributor to various short story anthologies. He lives in Bath. Praise for Philip Gooden: 'An absorbing mix of history, suspense and romance, this tale brings one of Britain's most renowned literary figures to credible life.' Publishers Weekly

Book Synopsis Historians on Chaucer by : Stephen Henry Rigby
Download or read book Historians on Chaucer written by Stephen Henry Rigby and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Yet, perhaps surprisingly, medieval historians have played little part in this 'historical turn' in the study of medieval literature. The aim of this volume is to allow historians who are experts in the fields of economic, social, political, religious, and intellectual history the chance to interpret one of the most famous works of Middle English literature, Geoffrey Chaucer's 'General Prologue' to the Canterbury Tales, in its contemporary context. Rather than resorting to traditional historical attempts to see Chaucer's descriptions of the Canterbury pilgrims as immediate reflections of historical reality or as portraits of real life people whom Chaucer knew, the contributors to this volume have sought to show what interpretive frameworks were available to Chaucer in order to make sense of reality and how he adapted his literary and ideological inheritance so as to engage with the controversies and conflicts of his own day. Beginning with a survey of recent debates about the social meaning of Chaucer's work, the volume then discusses each of the Canterbury pilgrims in turn. Historians on Chaucer should be of interest to all scholars and students of medieval culture whether they are specialists in literature or history.

Download or read book Chaucer written by Sir Adolphus William Ward and published by VM eBooks. This book was released on 2016-06-04 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biography of Geoffrey Chaucer is no longer a mixture of unsiftedfacts, and of more or less hazardous conjectures. Many and wide as arethe gaps in our knowledge concerning the course of his outer life, anddoubtful as many important passages of it remain--in vexatious contrastwith the certainty of other relatively insignificant data--we have atleast become aware of the foundations on which alone a trustworthyaccount of it can be built. These foundations consist partly of ameagre though gradually increasing array of external evidence, chieflyto be found in public documents,--in the Royal Wardrobe Book, the IssueRolls of the Exchequer, the Customs Rolls, and suchlike records--partlyof the conclusions which may be drawn with confidence from the internalevidence of the poet's own indisputably genuine works, together with afew references to him in the writings of his contemporaries orimmediate successors.
Book Synopsis Chaucer's Afterlife by : Kathleen Forni
Download or read book Chaucer's Afterlife written by Kathleen Forni and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores Chaucer's present-day cultural reputation by way of popular culture. In just the past two decades his texts have been adapted to a wide variety of popular genres, including television, stage, comic book, hip-hop, science fiction, horror, romance, and crime fiction. This cultural recycling involves a variety of functions but Chaucer's primary association is with the idea of pilgrimage and the prevailing tenor is populist satire. The target is not only cultural elitism but also the dominant discourse of professional Chaucerians. Academics in turn may have doubts about the value of popular Chaucer; popular culture theory, however, would maintain that such skepticism has less to do with critical discrimination than the assertion of social distinction. Nonetheless, the fact that Chaucer has a popular afterlife, and remains an ideological product over which competing groups lay claim, attests to his current cultural vitality.
