Download or read book Chaucer and Medieval Estates Satire written by Mann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1973-06-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to discover the origins and significance of the General Prologue-to the Canterbury Tales. The interest of such an inquiry is many-sided. On the one hand, it throws light on the question of whether `life' or 'literature' was Chaucer's model in this work, on the relationship between Chaucer's twenty-odd pilgrims and the structure of medieval society, and on the role of their `estate' in determining the elements of which Chaucer composes their portraits. On the other hand, it makes suggestions about the ways in which Chaucer convinces us of the individuality of his pilgrims, about the nature of his irony, and the kind of moral standards implicit in the Prologue. This book suggests that Chaucer is ironically substituting for the traditional moral view of social structure a vision of a world where morality becomes as specialised to the individual as his work-life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey Chaucer Mysteries - Book Three 'A central character and a story that will leave readers clamouring for more.' Booklist 1373. Geoffrey Chaucer, diplomat, king's agent and aspiring poet, is despatched to the Devon port of Dartmouth. A ship from the Italian city of Genoa has been deliberately wrecked and its cargo stolen. A treaty between England and Genoa is at risk. Chaucer must find the perpetrators. Chaucer and his travelling companions are lodged with a wealthy doctor of physic, Richard Storey, and his new, young wife, Sara. The fine house, overlooking the river Dart, is full of intrigue and suspicion between its members and visitors, who include a much-married woman, a softly spoken herbalist and the madam of a local brothel. When a murder occurs, Chaucer's mission grows more perilous still. And there are rumours that the shipwrecked boat contained no ordinary cargo but an object that is worth a king's ransom. Worth killing for. Recommended for fans of CJ Sansom, Steven Saylor and Andrew Taylor. Philip Gooden is a historical novelist and contributor to various short story anthologies. He lives in Bath. Praise for Philip Gooden: 'An absorbing mix of history, suspense and romance, this tale brings one of Britain's most renowned literary figures to credible life.' Publishers Weekly

Download or read book The Canterbury Tales written by Peter Ackroyd and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-10-29 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh, modern prose retelling captures the vigorous and bawdy spirit of Chaucer’s classic Renowned critic, historian, and biographer Peter Ackroyd takes on what is arguably the greatest poem in the English language and presents the work in a prose vernacular that makes it accessible to modern readers while preserving the spirit of the original. A mirror for medieval society, Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales concerns a motley group of pilgrims who meet in a London inn on their way to Canterbury and agree to take part in a storytelling competition. Ranging from comedy to tragedy, pious sermon to ribald farce, heroic adventure to passionate romance, the tales serve not only as a summation of the sensibility of the Middle Ages but as a representation of the drama of the human condition. Ackroyd’s contemporary prose emphasizes the humanity of these characters—as well as explicitly rendering the naughty good humor of the writer whose comedy influenced Fielding and Dickens—yet still masterfully evokes the euphonies and harmonies of Chaucer’s verse. This retelling is sure to delight modern readers and bring a new appreciation to those already familiar with the classic tales.
