Title
An Ars Legendi For Chaucer'S Canterbury Tales: A Reconstructive Reading,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In a daring, original study, Frese argues that the Ellesmere Manuscript of the Canterbury Tales represents Chaucers own final plans for the order and number of the Tales, traditionally thought to be unfinished at the time of the poets death. Frese contends that Chaucer devised a final plan for the order and number of the Canterbury Tales, that he inscribed this plan into the poetic text, and that this order and number are integral to the poems meaning. The poets final intentions can be retrieved, reconstructed, and internally verified, she claims, by an intertextual reading of the work as a whole. Frese maintains that the instructions found in the text are retrievable only through the Ellesmere Manuscript, held at the Huntington Library in California. The author discusses number itself as an important textual trope and provides an analysis of the medieval poetic practices of intnegumentum and involucrum. Finally, she postulates how and why early exemplars of Chaucers poem became disordered in the arrangements represented in the early Hengwrt manuscript and suggests that Chaucer created the Canons Yeomans Taleincluded in Ellesmere but not in Hengwrtto comment on this disaster. Chaucerians, literary theorists, and scholars of medieval French and Italian literature will welcome this modern reading of the Canterbury Tales.
