'... original critical engagement with a range of Chaucer's works and the issues they raise.' A. S. G. Edwards, The Times Literary Supplement '... this collection will be warmly received by scholars working on Chaucer, medieval conceptions of form and the literary, and - perhaps especially - the intersection of medieval philosophy and literature. Medievalists interested in the state of New Formalist criticism at present will also want a copy of this handsome volume, as will those curious about how far a formally oriented medieval studies might take us in the future.' Taylor Cowdery, Studies in the Age of Chaucer 'This brilliant and challenging collection of essays shows that form is not static but in itself a principle of animation that requires us to rethink not only how but also why we read literature.' Elizabeth Robertson, Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching (SMART)
