The extensively revised and expanded version of the acclaimed Companion to Chaucer
An essential text for both established scholars and those seeking to expand their
knowledge of Chaucer studies, A New Companion to Chaucer is an authoritative and up-to-date
survey of Chaucer scholarship. Rigorous yet accessible, this book helps readers to
identify current debates, recognize historical and literary context, and to understand
how particular concepts and theories affect the interpretation of Chaucer's texts.
Chaucer specialists from around the globe offer contributions that range from updates
of long-standing scholarship on biography, language, women, and social structures,
to original research in new areas such as ideology, the afterlife, patronage, and
sexuality. In presenting conflicting perspectives and ideological differences, this
stimulating volume encourages readers to explore additional paths of inquiry and engage
in lively and informed debate. Each chapter of the Companion, organized by issues
and themes, balances textual analysis and cultural context by grounding the reader
in existing scholarship. Key issues from specific passages are discussed with an annotated
bibliography provided for reference and further reading. Compiled with all students
of Chaucer in mind, this important volume: Presents contributions from both established
and emerging specialists Explores the circumstances in which Chaucer wrote, such as
the political and religious issues of his time Includes numerous close readings of
selected poems Provides points of entry to a wide range of approaches to Chaucer's
works Incorporates original research, fresh perspectives, and updated additions to
Chaucer scholarship A New Companion to Chaucer is a valuable and enduring resource
for scholars, teachers, and students of medieval literature and medieval studies,
