Description

This collection of fifteen essays, including four commissioned pieces, offers a comprehensive symposium on Chaucer's poetic mastery and versification techniques. Edited by Alan Gaylord, the volume explores how Chaucer's rhythms, riming patterns, and prosodic choices create emotional resonance in his work. The essays examine Chaucer's craft through the lens of poetic forms and sound patterns, with Gaylord's seminal contribution 'Scanning the Prosodists' setting the foundational question: how do Chaucer's technical choices move both the verse and the reader? A discursive introduction contextualises each essay, revealing the distinctive analytical approach and scholarly perspective of every contribution. This gathering represents an unprecedented focus on the mechanics of Chaucer's verse, making it essential for students and scholars seeking to understand how medieval English poetry achieves its aesthetic and emotional effects through careful attention to form, metre, and linguistic precision.
