Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book traces the roots of Chaucer's Parlement of Foules to a medieval European folk tale, The Contending Lovers. The author examines versions of the tale and their diffusion from ancient India to Europe to illustrate how the tale evolved and was adapted over time. The author posits that Chaucer likely encountered a version of the tale in Italy, which he then adapted for his poem. Throughout, the book offers a detailed comparative study of the tale in both its oral and written forms, illuminating its significance in Chaucer's work and its broader literary and cultural context. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
