Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Examining Geoffrey Chaucer's works through a comparative lens, this book highlights his involvement in religious controversies during the Medieval and Early Modern Eras. It delves into Chaucer's Continental influences, addressing themes like female spirituality and Lollardy, while also exploring the engagement of religious figures, particularly nuns, with his writings. Additionally, it investigates the lesser-known concept of an early modern "Catholic Chaucer," contributing to a broader understanding of the religious and national identity formation in literature across four centuries.
