Comprehensive – this book explains why Chaucer had a substantial audience – examining five appropriations of Chaucer: nineteenth-century poetry anthologies, early twentieth-century women’s dramatic representations of Chaucer, illustrated children’s books, Percy MacKaye’s play and opera (both titled The Canterbury Pilgrims), and Brian Helgeland’s film, A Knight’s TaleOriginal – to date, no one has conducted either a major or minor survey of Chaucer’s popular reception in the United States

Beschreibung
