High school and college-level literary collections strong in
Chaucer studies will find CHAUCER'S THE CANTERBURY TALES a fine
reader's supplemental guide which introduces readers to
Chaucer's life and times. Chaucer's history and culture are
surveyed in chapters which provide a critical approach to the Tales
based on recent critical analysis, blending readings of key tales with
ideas questioning approach, genre, language and even culture. Students
will find it an excellent approach.
