Book Description
Examines Chaucer's re-contextualizing of story and the ways in which he re-tailors old texts into new apparel. After a polemical introduction, five chapters reveal Chaucer confronting the implications of Nominalism and Realism to translation in his Canterbury Tales. The next four chapters consider "borrowings" from old texts which are put to modern use in Chaucer's stories. A final chapter sums up Chaucer's style of translation with a look at two translations from Petrarch. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
