In Chaucer's
Dead
Body, Thomas Prendergast looks at the material reasons behind
Chaucer's
transformation into a touchstone for the whole of the Anglophone Middle
Ages. This book makes a persuasive and intriguing case that the status
of Chaucer's physical body is an index of the status of Chaucer's work,
and furthermore that there continues to be a link between corpse and
corpus
in all of our assertions of positive and negative literary values from
Chaucer's time on, Prendergast organizes his study of Chaucer's
literary
legacy around Chaucer's tomb - around the history of attempts to
restore
it, to determine its authenticity, and to establish its exact location.
