Description

Originally published in 1972, this seminal work of Chaucerian scholarship examines Geoffrey Chaucer's dual significance as both an individual literary innovator and a pivotal figure in English poetic tradition. The author traces Chaucer's relationship to the English literary heritage whilst analysing his development of an urbane poetic technique that distinguished his work from his predecessors. Through detailed examination of major poems including the Parlement of Foules and the House of Fame, the study explores new thematic directions in the Love Vision genre and Chaucer's treatment of debate poetry. This critical analysis demonstrates how Chaucer fundamentally shaped the course of English poetry, establishing conventions and methods that would influence centuries of literary tradition. The volume combines historical contextualisation with close textual reading to illuminate both Chaucer's innovative achievements and his enduring influence on the development of English verse.
