Text of Note
"Students with little or no prior knowledge of Chaucer, the Canterbury Tales, or the world in which they were produced, will welcome this introduction. Not only does it paint a portrait of the poet against the background of his time, it also considers the major preoccupations of the tales, and provides students with a critical framework for thinking creatively about them." "The book provides the ideal aid to understanding and appreciating Geoffrey Chaucer and his works."--Jacket
