A collection of essays exploring Geoffrey Chaucer's life, work, and enduring impact.

The Geoffrey Chaucer of this book is not the Father of English Literature that you think you know. In this wide-ranging collection, you will meet wartime Chaucer, postcolonial Chaucer, feminist Chaucer, misogynist Chaucer, radical Chaucer, and conservative Chaucer, among many others.

Featuring beautiful illustrations of early manuscripts and rare editions, Chaucer Here and Now gives a picture of how varied adaptations of and responses to his work have been. These adaptations range from fifteenth-century scribes who finished off incomplete tales, through early printers who constructed Chaucer as the Father of the Nation, to contemporary postcolonial writers such as Zadie Smith.

The book examines the years of censorship; the creation of children's Chaucer, Protestant Chaucer, and imperial Chaucer; and his travels all around the world. It also explores Chaucer in film and the present moment. Today's creative responses follow in a line of irreverent, partial responses that we can trace back to Chaucer's very first readers and editors, showing that Chaucer is available for every here and now to remake, rework, and reinvent.
