This lively and accessible account offers us a fresh view of The Canterbury Tales. Knapp places the storytelling contest among the Canterbury pilgrims within the larger social contests in the changing England of the late fourteenth century. She then shows how the dominant ideologies of the time were increasingly inadequate as an account of social life.
