Eighteenth-Century Modernizations from the Canterbury Tales

Such contrasting attitudes illustrate the dangers of generalisation about the usual reception or interpretation of Chaucer during this or any other socio-historic period; instead, the collection provides an untapped reservoir of material with which to investigate anew the rich complexity of his poetry and its enduring appeal. Betsy Bowden is Professor of English at Rutgers University, New Jersey.
