5.0 out of 5 stars
best chaucer scholarship out there,
By sonmei46 (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chaucer and the Fictions of Gender (Paperback)
I'm stunned there aren't more reviews on this book! To my mind, this is the single best piece of criticism on Chaucer out there; the essays are as fresh and relevant today as they were when the book was originally printed. In general I like the essays as stand-alones more than I like the overall argument (that Chaucer personally had anxieties toward women--who knows, who cares). As examples of attentive reading, the essays are outstanding. My students love Hansen's reading of the Miller's Tale; the essays on Griselda, the Knight, the Prioress all completely changed the way I thought the Canterbury Tales. I can't recommend this book enough.
