Geoffrey Chaucerb>: General Introduction

Chaucerb> was following in the footsteps of Dante in his attempt to form vernacular English into a poetic language able to stand beside the language of Virgil and the classics.
Chaucerb> leads the reader to the point where the ability of any fictional tale to tell the truth is challenged, though not necessarily as radically denied as the Parson would wish.
Chaucerb>'s earliest works may be termed "occasional poetry", if we accept that the Book of the Duchess was written to console John of Gaunt on the death of his wife Blanche in 1369, and if the Parliament of Fowls was written to mark the marriage of Richard II in 1382.

EXEMPLARIA: Teaching Chaucerb> in the 90s Pre-print

While the uncritical praise of his pilgrims by Chaucerb> the naive pilgrim-narrator is qualified by numerous ironies, Chaucerb>'s generosity also reassures the reader of the author's trust in the healing power of the pilgrimage, not a small part of which springs from the fellowship the pilgrims share in telling and responding to their tales.
Chaucerb> is not only aware of the traditional roles of medieval poets, story-tellers and church authors as exponents of generic manipulation, he will not let his audience escape without being bombarded by two, three, or more discrete discursive modes at the same time.
Particularly applicable is the possibility that the expanding personalities of the pilgrims and the scope of their tales overwhelmed Chaucerb>'s original plan for two tales per pilgrim.

The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucerb>: A searchable online version at The Literature Network

Despite this complacent assurance, the obvious fact is, that Chaucerb> in the old forms has not become popular, in the true sense of the word; he is not "understanded of the vulgar." In this volume, therefore, the text of Chaucerb> has been presented in nineteenth-century garb.
Chaucerb>'s base humour was not of the "wink-nudge" innuendo sort, rather it was pure vulgarity.
especially how chaucerb> satirizes people in them....and the tale each person says kind of give us and idea of how that person's quality is. we are suppose to read atleast three tales of it and write an essay on "male-female relationships" of that age.
