Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introductory guide to the works of the towering literary figure of the Middle Ages, Geoffrey Chaucer. Considered the father of English literature, Chaucer is revered for his diverse body of work that modernised the English language and prepared the way for the Renaissance. The guide assists readers in decoding the rich layers of meaning within Chaucer's work, from examinations of his sources to the significance of allegorical elements and character motivations. The author accomplishes this without divorcing Chaucer from his medieval context, a time of vast transformation in social, religious, and political thought and practise, from the Hundred Years War to the Black Death; all of which found expression in Chaucer's writings. Deeply researched and accessible, this is a must-have guide for those interested in gaining a fuller appreciation of this legendary writer whose works remain vital and impactful to this day.
