The Font of the English Literary Canon,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Importance of Chaucer (Hardcover)
Fisher's study summarizes quite well the important canons of Chaucerian biographical and critical interpretation for the past five hundred years. His concluding chapter notes especially well Chaucer's achievements at almost the very beginnings of English literature: the creation of the individual in literary representation; the use of ambiguity, irony, and satire; the creation of voice, one transcendent to style; the Chaucerian musings on the supreme subject of love. I am not aware of another, more readable study than this one by John Fisher.
