The Routledge Companion to Global Chaucer

The Routledge Companion to Global Chaucer offers 40 chapters by leading scholars working with contemporary, theoretical, and textual approaches to the poetry and prose of Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 13401400) in a global context. This volume is an ideal starting point for beginners, offering contemporary perspectives to Chaucer both geographically and intellectually, including:

Exploration of major and lesser-known works, translations, and lyrics, such as The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde

Spatial intersections and external forms of communication

Discussion of identities, cognitions, and patterns of thought, including gender, race, disability, science, and nature.

The Routledge Companion to Global Chaucer also includes a section addressing ways of incorporating its material in the classroom to integrate global questions in the teaching of Chaucer's works. This guide provides post-pandemic, twenty-first century readers a way to teach, learn, and write about Chaucer's works complete with awareness of their reach, their limitations, and occlusions on a global field of culture.
