About The Book

This is a detailed investigation of Chaucer''s poetics in Troilus and Criseyde and the Knight''s Tale in relation to an important continental narrative tradition. It is the first such wide-ranging study since Charles Muscatine''s seminal Chaucer and the French Tradition and the first book to argue in detail that Chaucer''s poems Boccaccio''s Filostrato and Teseida and the twelfth-century French romans antiques participate in a distinct formal tradition within the protean field of medieval romance. By close examination of the formal and ethical designs of each poem Barbara Nolan explores both the compositional practices shared by all of the poets she discusses and their calculated differences from each other. Her analysis culminates in a full examination of Chaucer''s richly original response to the continental verse narratives from which he borrowed. No other study offers so full and careful a delineation of the compositional features that distinguish the roman antique from other forms of romance in the Middle Ages.
