A Study of Middle English Dream Poetry: the Chaucerian Tradition
by Liu Jin
About This Novel
Middle English dream poetry is an important achievement of late medieval English literature. It mainly includes Chaucer and Chaucerian traditional dream poems and alliterative traditional dream poems represented by "Pearce the Ploughman". This book focuses on the dream poems created by poets deeply influenced by Chaucer in the late 14th and 15th centuries, the so-called Chaucerian poets. This book conducts a relatively comprehensive review and definition of Chaucerian fantasy poems, and selects ten Chaucerian fantasy poems for in-depth study. The study of ten dream poems in this book follows the rough development sequence of dream poetry, covering the main achievements of the Chaucerian poets in England and Scotland in the creation of dream poems in the 15th century. It is hoped that this book can enhance Chinese scholars' understanding of Middle English dream poetry and further promote the burgeoning domestic study of British medieval literature.
