Chaucer : The Canterbury Tales (Analysing Texts)

Rating:
Summary: Concise and informative
Review: I found this book to be a wonderful aid in assisting me in my study of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Gail Ashton writes her book for the beginner who needs assistance in doing a close reading of Chaucer's work. Various passages are given close readings by Ashton. She then explains the techniques the author employs, and provides definitions and questions that the reader should use to approach the work. The book is an excellent resource for how to approach Chaucer's or any author's work.
