Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines Geoffrey Chaucer's beloved poem The Parlement of Foules in light of its historical and literary context. The author argues that a contemporary political situation, rather than mere avian allegory, shaped the poem. The author suggests the poem's focus on a formel refusing the advances of three eagle suitors reflects the political climate of Richard II's court in 1381. A historical analysis of the political maneuverings around the marriages of Philippa of Lancaster and William of Hainaut supports this new interpretation. The author shows the poem to be an allegory about the role of a lower house of Parliament, represented by the birds, in opposing a match desired by the Crown. The innovative reinterpretation, evidence-based approach, and contextual insights presented by the author offer a fresh perspective on Chaucer's enduring work.
