Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Didaktik für das Fach Englisch - Literatur, Werke, Note: 1,7, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), Veranstaltung: The Fabliau in English, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Religion and Church play a significant role in Geoffrey Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’ and although the Church was so important, powerful and present it was not free from criticism. At the time when Chaucer wrote his ‘Canterbury Tales’, the Church was an extremely wealthy and predominant organization that was highly embedded in politics. This connection between religion, politics, prosperity and the will to protect the won rights led inter alia to secularization and corruption and the Church diverged from its own moralities. Considering that, the ecclesiastical authorities had problems to fulfil their spiritual mission convincingly. Such conflicts led to controversies and debates about Church and religion since the late fourteenth century was a vivid period for parishioners in the medieval Europe to question the established Church and its authorities. Chaucer did not describe his relation to pre-reformatory movements in detail but his criticism in the ‘Canterbury Tales’ overlaps with them in some points. The question that arises therefore is, whether Chaucer can be seen as a pre-reformatory author or not. To answer this question it would be necessary to analyze all religious aspects of the ‘Canterbury Tales’, which were an undeniably monumental endeavour. Due to the restricted space of that term paper the focus of this research will be laid on two central pilgrims and their tales: the monk and the prioress. Since both characters are described explicitly in the prologue and represent the ecclesiastical establishment they serve as a good example for Chaucer’s church criticism.

Book Synopsis The Canterbury Tales by : John M Bowers
Download or read book The Canterbury Tales written by John M Bowers and published by Medieval Institute Publications. This book was released on 1992-09-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Geoffrey Chaucer died in 1400, his massive project, the Canterbury Tales, lay unfinished and unpublished. This volume includes five works that aim to fill in the gaps in this incomplete masterpiece. The pieces presented here date from the fifteenth century and survive in at least one manuscript collection of Chaucer's tales: John Lydgate's Prologue to the Siege of Thebes, The Ploughman's Tale, The Cook's Tale, Spurious Links, and The Canterbury Interlude and Merchant's Tale of Beryn. These pieces of Chaucerian apocrypha have been collected into one student-friendly edition, including introductions, notes, glosses, and a glossary to accommodate students of all levels of experience in Middle English.
Book Synopsis Chaucer's Religious Tales by : C. David Benson
Download or read book Chaucer's Religious Tales written by C. David Benson and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 1990 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These thirteen essays by distinguished Chaucerians deal with the most neglected genre of the 'Canterbury Tales', the religious tales. Although the prose works are also discussed, the primary focus of the volume is on Chaucer's four poems in rhyme royal: the 'Clerk's Tale', the 'Man of Law's Tale', the 'Second Nun's Tale' and the 'Prioress's Tale'. Almost all of Chaucer's tales are religious in some sense, but these four works deal specifically and deeply with faith and spiritual transcendence. They appeal to qualities, such as pathos, not now in critical fashion, but at the same time they seem extraordinarily contemporary in their special interest in women and feminist issues. The time is appropriate to recognise their importance in Chaucer's canon, for he is a religious poet as surely as he is a poet of comedy and secular love. These essays survey past criticism on the religious tales and offer new approaches.Contributors: C.DAVID BENSON, ELIZABETH ROBINSON, DEREK PEARSALL, BARBARA NOLAN, ROBERT WORTH FRANK, LINDA GEORGIANNA, CHARLOTTE C.

Download or read book Chaucer and the Social Contest (Routledge Revivals) written by Peggy Knapp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1990, Chaucer and the Social Contest takes a fresh view of The Canterbury Tales, by placing the storytelling contest among the Canterbury pilgrims within the larger social contests in the changing England of the late fourteenth century. The author focuses on three crucial fields of contention: the division of social duties into the three estates, the controversies around Wycliffite thought and practice, and the roles of women. Drawing on recent literary theory, particularly Bakhtin and Foucault, Peggy Knapp offers both a reading of nearly all the tales and an argument about how such readings come about, both for Chaucer’s earliest audiences and for us.
