Chaucer lived through a period of extraordinary upheaval: a protracted war with        France, devastating plague, the peasants' revolt, religious controversy, and the        overthrow of the king. Compact and comprehensive, this book offers a wide-ranging        account of the medieval society from which works such as The Canterbury Tales and        Troilus and Criseyde sprang, and shows how these and other works manifest that        society in fictional form. Significant aspects of theliterary scene, such as        patronage, audience, and performance, help to place Chaucer's practices in their        historical framework, and his treatment of love, paganism, and reality are framed        within their intellectual and philosophical contexts. The modern reception of        Chaucer in film and television adaptations is also examined.Seen through the lens of        his cultural experience, this is the perfect critical companion to Chaucer's life        and poetry.The book includes a chronology of Chaucer's life and time, suggestions        for further reading, websites, illustrations, and a comprehensive index.
