Chaucerian Ecopoetics performs ecocritical close readings of Geoffrey Chaucers poetry.Â Shawn Normandin explains how Chaucers language demystifies the aesthetic charm of his narratives and calls into question the anthropocentrism they often depict. This text combines ecocriticism with reading techniques associated with deconstruction, to provide innovative interpretations of the General Prologue, the Knights Tale, the Millers Tale, the Reeves Tale, the Franklins Tale, the Physicians Tale, and the Monks Tale. In stressing the importance of rhetorical nuance and literary form, Chaucerian Ecopoetics enables readers to better understand the ideological prehistory of todays environmental crisis.
