| Abstract
|
:
|
"Students with little or no prior knowledge of Chaucer, the Canterbury Tales, or the world in which they were produced, will welcome this introduction. Not only does it paint a portrait of the poet against the background of his time, it also considers the major preoccupations of the tales, and provides students with a critical framework for thinking creatively about them." "The book provides the ideal aid to understanding and appreciating Geoffrey Chaucer and his works."--Jacket
