Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the local setting and history of one of Chaucer's most charming tales, the Franklin's Tale, about an extraordinarily noble husband and wife who must grapple with a difficult choice and the limits of magnanimity. The author demonstrates that Chaucer deliberately set the story near Penmarch, on the southwestern coast of Brittany, and that the setting was a meaningful choice, reflecting the tale's pagan and Roman elements. The book uses historical and archaeological research to analyze the physical, social, and literary details within the story, which Chaucer drew from contemporary life and literature, thereby revealing the depth of Chaucer's knowledge and imagination, and providing rich insights into the complex world of medieval storytelling.
