Description

Explore a fresh perspective on The Canterbury Tales with Chaucer and the Social Contest. Originally published in 1990, this Routledge Revivals edition examines the storytelling contest among the Canterbury pilgrims within the context of the shifting social landscape of late fourteenth-century England. Author Peggy Knapp connects the literary work to the broader tensions of the era. The text examines three major areas of conflict: the division of social duties among the three estates, the religious debates surrounding Wycliffite thought, and the evolving roles of women. By applying literary theories from thinkers like Bakhtin and Foucault, this book provides a deep reading of nearly all the tales. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in how literature reflects the social changes and power struggles of the Middle Ages.
