Chaucer by Corinne Saunders
This comprehensive collection of the major critical views of Chaucer's works over time engages students with the entire critical history. Introduces students to the critical discourse on Chaucer's works from a historical perspective. Encourages students to make links between past and present criticism. Foregrounds those modern approaches that are genuinely productive. Avoids a formulaic approach through lively editorial commentary and judicious selection of texts.
"The acuteness of Corinne Saunders's analyses makes this volume considerably more than a collection of critical extracts; it manages to be at once illuminating about Chaucer, Chaucerian criticism, and twentieth-century criticism in general, its range, its concerns, its disagreements, and its radical insights" Medium Aevum LXXI/2002
"Saunders's Chaucer is a thought-inspiring and highly recommended coursebook to use beside The Riverside Chaucer." English Studies
