Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to The Canterbury Tales written by Frank Grady and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaucer's best-known poem, The Canterbury Tales, is justly celebrated for its richness and variety, both literary - the Tales include fabliaux, romances, sermons, hagiographies, fantasies, satires, treatises, fables and exempla - and thematic, with its explorations of courtly love and scatology, piety and impiety, chivalry and pacifism, fidelity and adultery. Students new to Chaucer will find in this Companion a lively introduction to the poem's diversity, depth, and wonder. Readers returning to the Tales will appreciate the chapters' fresh engagement with the individual tales and their often complicated critical histories, inflected in recent decades by critical approaches attentive to issues of gender, sexuality, class, and language.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Medieval English Literature 1100–1500 written by Larry Scanlon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-18 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The medieval period was one of extraordinary literary achievement sustained over centuries of great change, anchored by the Norman invasion and its aftermath, the re-emergence of English as the nation's leading literary language in the fourteenth century and the advent of print in the fifteenth. This Companion spans four full centuries to survey this most formative and turbulent era in the history of literature in English. Exploring the period's key authors - Chaucer, Langland, the Gawain-Poet, Margery Kempe, among many - and genres - plays, romances, poems and epics - the book offers an overview of the riches of medieval writing. The essays map out the flourishing field of medieval literary studies and point towards new directions and approaches. Designed to be accessible to students, the book also features a chronology and guide to further reading.

Download or read book The Cambridge Introduction to Literature and the Environment written by Timothy Clark and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The degrading environment of the planet is something that touches everyone. This 2011 book offers an introductory overview of literary and cultural criticism that concerns environmental crisis in some form. Both as a way of reading texts and as a theoretical approach to culture more generally, 'ecocriticism' is a varied and fast-changing set of practices which challenges inherited thinking and practice in the reading of literature and culture. This introduction defines what ecocriticism is, its methods, arguments and concepts, and will enable students to look at texts in a wholly new way. Boxed sections explain key critical terms and contemporary debates in the field with 'hands-on' examples and comparisons. Timothy Clark's thoughtful approach makes this an ideal first encounter with environmental readings of literature.

Download or read book Geoffrey Chaucer written by David Wallace and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey Chaucer is today enjoying a global renaissance. Why do poets, translators, and performers, from the mountains of Iran to the islands of Japan, find him so inspiring? In part this is down to the absolutely ground-breaking character of Chaucer's work. Not for nothing was he known as the Father of English Literature; his works were not just literary adventures, but also the first ever attempt to convince the world that poetry, science, tragedy, and astrology could all be explored through English, at a time when English writing commanded no prestige at a European level. Born in noisy dockside London, and then later a royal esquire, Chaucer was recognized by Westminster as a wily civil servant, a customs officer, but not as a poet. Only much later did his Westminister Abbey burial place became Poets' Corner, a national shrine. From Shakespeare to Sylvia Plath, writers have revelled in Chaucer's unique expressive range: high tragedy and barnyard farce; religious allegory and sex up a pear tree; farts and the music of the heavenly spheres. Today new performers are imagining new Chaucers across the world. -- from dust jacket.
