On the basis of a close reading of Chaucer's \u003ci\u003eNun's Priest's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eManciple's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e, the book analyses how the concept of textual authority came to be both challenged and vindicated in the face of the growing importance of an empowered vernacular readership. Thus, the fables of John Lydgate and the presentation of Chaucer's texts in some of the earliest printed editions of the \u003ci\u003eCanterbury Tales\u003c\/i\u003e indicate the development of a Chaucerian poetics that was grounded in Chaucer's own critical reflection on the scholastic account of poetic fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46470493012119,"sku":"9783631761137","price":5392.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783631761137.jpg?v=1766239316","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/poetry-and-authority-chaucer-vernacular-fable-and-the-role-of-readers-in-fifteenth-century-england-9783631761137","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
