'Above all, the pilgrimage itself is a sign of people's need for a faith in troubled times,' writes John Cunningham in this perceptive and thought-provoking critical study. What did the Prologue mean when it was written? What could it mean to today's readers? Discussing Chaucer's life and times, exploring his characters and the framework of the Tales, this study attempts to provide some answers to these questions. It includes the complete text of the Prologue with notes on facing pages and a helpful glossary.
