Book Synopsis Chaucerian Polity by : David Wallace

Download or read book Chaucerian Polity written by David Wallace. This book was released on 1997. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Wallace's study of Chaucer's poetry and prose is invigorated by an engagement with approaches gleaned from modern Marxist historiography, gender theory, and cultural studies. He provides a new articulation of Chaucerian polity through analyses of art, architecture, city and country, household space, guild and mercantile cultures, as well as literary texts. He argues that The Canterbury Tales reveal the influence of Chaucer's Italian journeys and exposure to the great Trecento authors - Dante, Boccaccio, and Petrarch - and the Trecento's most crucial material and ideological conflict, that between the associational polity of Florence and the prototype absolutist state of Lombardy. In drawing these parallels, David Wallace challenges conventional divisions between the medieval and the Renaissance.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Chaucer by : Piero Boitani

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Chaucer written by Piero Boitani. This book was released on 2004-01-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Companion to Chaucer is an extensively revised version of the first edition, which has become a classic in the field. This new volume responds to the success of the first edition and to recent debates in Chaucer Studies. Important material has been updated, and new contributions have been commissioned to take into account recent trends in literary theory as well as in studies of Chaucer's works. New chapters cover the literary inheritance traceable in his works to French and Italian sources, his style, as well as new approaches to his work. Other topics covered include the social and literary scene in England in Chaucer's time, and comedy, pathos and romance in the Canterbury Tales. The volume now offers a useful chronology, and the bibliography has been entirely updated to provide an indispensable guide for today's student of Chaucer.
