| Description: |
The Oxford Guides to Chaucer are designed to combine the most recent scholarship on Chaucer's work with full critical interpretations. They contain essential information on such matters as sources, dates and texts; discuss themes and approaches; analyse structure and style, and offer bibliographical guidance. This second edition incorporates further work by Cooper and also a broader representation of the most significant recent scholarship and criticism, reflectingcurrent research in the areas of Chaucer's historical and social context and developments in the intepretation of Chaucer's presentation of women. |
| Synopsis: |
The three Oxford Guides to Chaucer are written by scholars of international repute, with the purpose of summarizing what is known about his works and offering interpretations based on recent advances in both historical knowledge and theoretical understanding. They will provide readers at every level with new interpretations and ideas, with essential and up-to-date information on such matters as dating and sources and with analyses of thematic issues, structure, style rhetoric and generic relations brought right up-to-date for this second paperback edition. Helen Cooper's volume on The Canterbury Tales tackles these matters both for the whole work and for each individual Tale. It also includes a survey of literary responses to the Tales over the two centuries following Chaucer's death. The book is perhaps the most comprehensive single-volume guide to the Tales yet produced, bringing together a wide range of disparate material and providing a readable commentry on all aspects of the work.It combines the comprehensive coverage of a reference book with the coherence of a critical account and since its first publication in 1989, has established itself as a standard work on the Tales. |
