Geoffrey Chaucer is widely considered the father of English literature. This introduction begins with a review of his life and the cultural milieu of fourteenth-century England and then expands into analyses of such major works as The Parliament of Fowls, Troilus and Criseyde, and, of course, the Canterbury Tales, examining them alongside a selection of lesser known verses.

Geoffrey Chaucer is today enjoying a global renaissance. Why do poets, translators, and performers, from the mountains of Iran to the islands of Japan, find him so inspiring? In part this is down to the absolutely ground-breaking character of Chaucer's work. Not for nothing was he known as the Father of English Literature; his works were not just literary adventures, but also the first ever attempt to convince the world that poetry, science, tragedy, and astrology could all be explored through English, at a time when English writing commanded no prestige at a European level. Born in noisy dockside London, and then later a royal esquire, Chaucer was recognized by Westminster as a wily civil servant, a customs officer, but not as a poet. Only much later did his Westminister Abbey burial place became Poets' Corner, a national shrine. From Shakespeare to Sylvia Plath, writers have revelled in Chaucer's unique expressive range: high tragedy and barnyard farce; religious allegory and sex up a pear tree; farts and the music of the heavenly spheres. Today new performers are imagining new Chaucers across the world. -- from dust jacket.

Originally writing over 600 years ago, Geoffrey Chaucer is today enjoying a global renaissance. Why do poets, translators, and audiences from so many cultures, from the mountains of Iran to the islands of Japan, find Chaucer so inspiring? In part this is down to the character and sheer inventiveness of Chaucer's work. At the time Chaucer's writings were not just literary adventures, but also a means of convincing the world that poetry and science, tragedy and astrology, could all be explored through the English language. French was still England's aristocratic language of choice when Chaucer was born; Latin was used for university education, theological discussion, and for burying the dead. Could a hybrid tongue such as English ever generate great writing to compare with French and Latin? Chaucer, miraculously, believed that it could, through gradual expansion of expressiveness and scientific precision. He was never paid to do this; he was valued, rather, as a capable civil servant, regulating the export of wool and the building of seating for royal tournaments. Such experiences, however, fed his writing, leading him to achieve a range of social registers, from noble tragedy to barnyard farce, unrivalled for centuries. His tale-telling geography is vast, his fascination with varieties of religious belief endless, and his desire to voice female experience especially remarkable. Many Chaucerian poets and performers, today, are women. In this Very Short Introduction David Wallace introduces the life, performance, and poetry of Chaucer, and analyses his astonishing and enduring appeal. Previously published in hardback as Geoffrey Chaucer: A New Introduction ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
