Description

First published in 1990 and now reissued as part of the Routledge Revivals series, Chaucer and the Social Contest presents a groundbreaking analysis of The Canterbury Tales by contextualising the pilgrims' storytelling contest within the broader social conflicts of late fourteenth-century England. Peggy Knapp examines three major areas of contention: the medieval three-estates framework, Wycliffite theological controversies, and women's social roles. Drawing on contemporary literary theory, particularly the works of Bakhtin and Foucault, the author provides close readings of nearly all the tales whilst constructing a cohesive argument about how Chaucer's narrative structure reflects and engages with the social tensions of his time. This scholarly work combines historical context with modern critical approaches, making it valuable for students and researchers interested in medieval literature, social history, and textual interpretation.

Key Features

Chaucer and the Social Contest examines The Canterbury Tales through the lens of late fourteenth-century social conflicts and power dynamics.

The book focuses on three key areas of contention: the three-estates division, Wycliffite controversies, and the representation of women in medieval society.

Peggy Knapp applies literary theory from Bakhtin and Foucault to analyse nearly all the tales and construct a comprehensive argument about Chaucer's work.

Part of the Routledge Revivals series, this reissue makes an influential 1990 academic study accessible to contemporary scholars and students of medieval literature.

The work combines close textual analysis with historical contextualisation, offering insights into how Chaucer's narratives engage with social contests and cultural change.
