Publisher's Synopsis

Drawing on recent literary theory, particularly that of Bakhtin and Foucault, Knapp places "The Canterbury Tales" in their larger social context, and shows how the dominant ideologies of the time were inadequate as an account of social life.;This book should be of interest to students and lecturers in medieval literature and social history.
