Strange matter
'This dazzlingly original study gives us a new Chaucer, or I should say new Chaucers: a multiplicity of Chaucers within and around and subsequent to his textHelen Barr populates her book with Chaucer stand-ins, doubles, images, lurkers and avatars - all testifying to the inexhaustible suggestiveness of the original text and its unending cultural resonance. This is a bold book, a true departure, teeming with new leads and prompts and suggestions. It is essential reading, the best on its subject to appear in a long, long time. Paul Strohm, Anna S. Garbedian Professor Emeritus of the Humanities, Columbia University 'Transporting Chaucer is a quirky book, even admittedly so. It opens with a consideration of a suspended modern sculpture in Canterbury Cathedral that poses questions of place, memory and embodiment that the author wishes to raise more generally - as well as a sense of surprise and accidental discovery, governed by the intrusion of the past into the present (and vice versa) that animates the project(s).'
