Synopsis

Bisson places Chaucer's work in the context of some of the major cultural and social currents of his day, a time when the underpinnings of medieval society were undergoing substantive challenges and revision. Students will find this book particularly useful as a historical companion to The Canterbury Tales. It seeks to bring to nonspecialists some of the excitement that the new interest in social history and popular culture is generating among scholars, and it attempts to serve the growing interest in interdisciplinary approaches to medieval studies.
