"This book remains in its third edition the most comprehensive single-volume account of the Canterbury Tales, combining information of what is known and what has been thought about the work to offer a fresh and individual tale-by-tale analysis. It provides not only information on textual variations and sources, but a readable commentary on thematic issues, structure, style, generic affiliations, and the contribution of each tale to the work as a whole. It concludes with a survey of the many imitations of the tales down to the early seventeenth century. This new edition also takes account of the fresh emphases in recent theory and criticism that bear directly on the tales, including such matters as gender identity, consent, and racial and religious difference."--
