A wide range of new scholarship on Chaucer's poetry.

This collection of essays makes available a wide range of new scholarship on Chaucer's poetry. Opening essays address the issues of Chaucerian representation and Chaucerian poetics, arguing for the multiplicity and complexityof what Chaucer represents and for the importance of his dual Anglo-French background in enabling him to articulate that complexity. Chaucer's use of Ovidian and Ciceronian sources and ideas is examined, and his pursuit of simplicity and suspicion of delicacy; the potent issues of sexuality and spirituality, and money and death (with Chaucer's own ending and his thoughts on last things) complete the collection.
