Description

In this illuminating & often amusing study, author John Gardner synthesizes for the serious reader two decades of Chaucer studies. He puts Chaucer’s comic genius, gentle humanism & psychological insights into a new perspective. From this study comes an even broader & deeper picture of the poet. Philosophical, historical & sociological forces of the Middle Ages are brilliantly provided. All are carefully documented with Gardner’s erudition & criticism, as well as with that of many other Chaucerian scholars. "Universities should adopt this book as a basic text."
