Opis

Originally published in 1972. This important work of Chaucerian scholarship deals with two aspects of the poet and his work - his individual achievement and his place in history. This second volume includes an examination of the puzzling question of narrative structure in the Canterbury Tales and of the nature of Chaucerian comedy.
