Although Geoffrey Chaucer
is the major author for Middle English studies, he receives little
notice in studies of children's literature. However, there is a
fascinating relationship between Chaucer and children's interests.
This book examines in detail Chaucer stories retold for children - both
the texts and the illustrations, which are excellent examples of the
verbal and visual storytelling that are very important in children’s
literature. The popularity of certain Chaucer stories, their adjustment
for children, and the historical, political, educational, and social
contexts of the retellings reveal Victorian and Edwardian attitudes.
The author also considers how retellings of Chaucer stories contributed
to the traditional view of Chaucer as the Father of English and how
this view of him was developed at the turn of the twentieth century as
part of an expansion of general education and English studies.
