Numerous artistic and historical problems are treated in these essays, including the narrative point of view established by Chaucer the pilgrim, the possible architectonic function of \u003ci\u003eThe Parson's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e, the medieval controversy over the friars, the pronouncements of the medieval church on the Jews, and the socio-economic background of the fourteenth century. This anthology is distinct not only because of the excellence of individual selections but also in the fact that the selections, though diverse in origin and approach, together contribute to a unifying view of the \u003ci\u003eCanterbury Tales\u003c\/i\u003e and to a just evaluation of Chaucer's full stature among the giants of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52702125424920,"sku":"9780268000363","price":15.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/chaucer-criticism-volume-1-the-canterbury-tales-paperback-softback-9780268000363","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
