Chaucer's Poetry

Words, authority and ethics

Clíodhna Carney & Frances McCormack, editors

This book reminds us of the reasons to read, and re-read, Chaucer. The essays cast new light on the poetry and, in their careful scholarship and sensitivity to the past, show us paradoxically how Chaucer is being re-conceived in the 21st century.
