{"product_id":"9781603810753","title":"Chaucer's Canterbury Comedies","description":"The written and spoken voice of Peter G. Beidler is well-known to scholars interested in Geoffrey Chaucer's comic tales. In this gathering of essays old and new, Beidler articulates his views on the literary relationships of Chaucer's most widely-read and often-taught tales-those of the Miller, the Wife of Bath, the Shipman, the Merchant, and the Pardoner. He discusses in clear language not only the most likely sources for these tales-their origins-but also the many changes Chaucer made in transforming them in accordance with his own purposes-their originality. He explicates key passages to show what a deliberate literary artist Chaucer was. The Foreword by Holly A. Crocker will help readers connect the strands that unify Beidler's approach to the bawdy\/body tales he discusses in Chaucer's Canterbury Comedies.","brand":"Coffeetown Enterprises, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057386307824,"sku":"9781603810753","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781603810753_p0.jpg?v=1763824765","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781603810753","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
