Drawing on ideas from deconstruction, psychoanalysis, and social theory, Leicester proposes that Chaucer can lead us beyond the impasses of contemporary literary theory and suggests new approaches to questions of agency, representation, and the gendered imagination. Leicester reads the Canterbury Tales as radically voiced and redefines concepts like "self" and "character" in the light of current discussions of language and subjectivity. He argues for Chaucer's disenchanted practical understanding of the constructed character of the self, gender, and society, building his case through close readings of the Pardoner's, Wife of Bath's, and Knight's tales. His study is among the first major treatments of Chaucer's poetry utilizing the techniques of contemporary literary theory and provides new models for reading the poems while revising many older views of them and of Chaucer's relation to his age. 606 $aChristian pilgrims and pilgrimages in literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTales, Medieval$xPsychological aspects 606 $aSelf-consciousness (Awareness) in literature 606 $aPoetry 606 $aSubjectivity in literature 606 $aPoint-of-view (Literature) 606 $aPersona (Literature) 606 $aSelf in literature 615 0$aChristian pilgrims and pilgrimages in literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aTales, Medieval$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aSelf-consciousness (Awareness) in literature 615 0$aPoetry 615 0$aSubjectivity in literature 615 0$aPoint-of-view (Literature) 615 0$aPersona (Literature) 615 0$aSelf in literature 676 $a821/.1 700 $aLeicester$b H.
