"When Lady Philosophy, coming to rescue the ailing Boethius, castigates the "poetical muses" around his bed as "comune strompettis," she poses a problem for any medieval poet who seeks to reconcile art with morality. According to medieval theory, it was the poet's duty to instruct and uplift through moral wisdom, but Chaucer's gifts led him to an artistic vision independent of moral sanctions, one with the energy and vitality of life itself. Although he set out to put his art in the service of moral truth, he was aware of an equivocal worth in the truth of his poems that ultimately led him to retract the best of them in the moving conclusion to the Canterbury Tales. This book presents a comprehensive interpretation of Chaucer's work by tracing his changing conceptions of his craft. Its theme is Chaucer's constant struggle to reconcile the moral "auctorite" of his age with the "experience" of his vision as an artist. Although the book takes a stand on current critical disputes about Chaucer, it also serves the students and general reader and an introduction and companion to a first reading of the poet. The main emphasis of the book falls on the Canterbury Tales, but the tales are set within an overall picture of Chaucer's development, and there are key chapters on Troilus and the Legend of Good Women. The author concentrates on the texts themselves in extremely successful effort to provide original interpretations of individual tales within the frame of a larger story: Chaucer's evolution as a poet both for his age and for all of time." -Publisher.

Originally published in 1972. This important work of Chaucerian scholarship deals with two aspects of the poet and his work - his individual achievement and his place in history - and demonstrates that in both these senses Chaucer is a maker of English poetry. The author explores Chaucer’s narrative art. The book includes an examination of the puzzling question of narrative structure in the Canterbury Tales and of the nature of Chaucerian comedy in these works. The author surveys the major themes of the poems: Fortune and free will, marriage, and the nobleness of man. In the final chapter she treats of the meaning of Chaucer’s art for his successors. Throughout the work, Miss Kean deals extensively with the sources which Chaucer used for the writing of his poems, in a way which directs light on the more difficult aspects of his art.

This book traces through Chaucer's earlier poems the development of his understanding of the creative possibilities and the limitations of his art. The discussion includes authority and experience in three works, and demonstrates how the creative process defined in the study led to the masterpiece Troilus and Criseyde.

These fifteen essays, four of them commissioned for this volume, along with a discursive introduction which sets each essay into place and comments on its distinctive features, represent a gathering never before attempted: a symposium on Chaucer's craft that concentrates on his poetic forms, his rhythms, his riming, his versification, his prosody. In his seminal essay, Scanning the Prosodists, Alan Gaylord (the editor of this volume) had asked: To show how Chaucer moves, and in moving, moves us: is that not what the study of his prosody should do? Should it not identify a pattern of sounds in motion, a regular and expressive succession which is part of the order of verse and a major component of its effectiveness? In the two decades that followed that essay, a number of distinguished scholars provided a variety of answers for such questions, arising from the authors' work as metrical theorists, or editors of medieval verse, or literary historians, or critics -- but in every case, such work connected to the initiatives and discoveries of the classroom. The best written and most useful of those essays, by recognized authorities in their fields, have been included in this volume. The volume will be of use to the advanced student of Chaucer and medieval poetry, and to the teacher interested in identifying, explaining, and bringing to life the patterns of sound and sense in Chaucer's verse. The extensive master Bibliography for the whole volume comprises a library of references which will have been reviewed and discussed in the essays.
