Second Edition
Helen Cooper
Reviews and Awards
Praise for the first edition: "Marked by wit, learning, intelligence, and that rarest of critical virtues, good judgement...this is now the first book on The Canterbury Tales to consult after reading the text itself."--Studies in the Age of Chaucer.
"Cooper's guide is a more powerful book than any previous aid or introduction to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. It presents the lively and generous mind of a serious scholar and a sensitive reader."--Notes and Queries.
"A substantial work...with something of the proportions and production quality of a reference volume....This is a major book with many virtues...[and] much to offer its reader"--Review of English Studies.
