{"product_id":"language-redeemed-david-williams-9781932589351","title":"Language Redeemed: Chaucer's Mature Poetry","description":"The contemporary reader of Chaucer's poems is often surprised to discover how bawdy they are. A superficial veneer of Christian culture seems to give way easily in Chaucer to the celebration of a light-hearted hedonism. In this readable study, written for students and experts alike, the eminent literary scholar David Williams guides the reader carefully through Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde and Canterbury Tales. He shows that below the surface Chaucer's narrative reveals an author attuned to the Christian story of creation, fall, and redemption. His characters expose the sophistries, spiritual and intellectual, that Chaucer seeks to mend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 193258935X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781932589351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sapientia Press Ave Maria Univ\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"David Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136942321919,"sku":"9781932589351","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e290140d-f120-4fe8-9def-163971c9cf2a.jpg?v=1770165486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/language-redeemed-david-williams-9781932589351","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
