Produktbeschreibung

Six hundred years of Chaucer criticism has established his reputation as one of England s greatest poets. However, we must not forget that Chaucer was also a prose writer, as is demonstrated in Melibee and the Parson s Tale in the Canterbury Tales, in Boece, a work of a philosophical nature and in A Treatise on the Astrolabe, a scientific text ascribing the use of an astronomical instrument. The latter was written at a time when the conception of the Universe was based on the Ptolemaic model. This Greco-Roman view of the Universe was shattered when Copernicus s De Revolutionibus was published in 1543. In Learned Chaucer, I explore how historical, cultural, religious, linguistic and scientific changes have affected the perception of Chaucer and of his Treatise. I hope to provide an insight into 600 years of Chaucer criticism.
