Originally published in 1968. A critical interpretation of Chaucer's narrative poetry which concentrates on three major groupings - the early love-visions, the 'tragedye' of Troilus and Criseyde, and the Canterbury Tales. Emphasis is laid on Chaucer as an oral narrator and on the varying skills which this role encourages and sustains. The quotations are liberal and throughout help is given to the reader unfamiliar with Middle English.

Industry Reviews

Review of the original publication:
"The treatment of the tales is wise and balanced . . . his examination of key medieval oppositions, such as authority and experience, brings us close to the heart of Chaucer's achievement." Cambridge News
