Using queer theory to untangle all types of nonnormative sexual identities, Tison Pugh uses Chaucerâs work to expose the ongoing tension in the Middle Ages between an erotic culture that glorified love as an ennobling passion and an anti-erotic religious and philosophical tradition that denigrated love and (perhaps especially) its enactments. Chaucerâs (Anti-)Eroticisms and the Queer Middle Ages considers the many ways in which anti-eroticisms complicate the conventional image of Chaucer. With chapters addressing such topics as mutual masochism, homosocial brotherhood, necrotic erotics, queer families, and the eroticisms of Chaucerâs God, Chaucerâs (Anti-)Eroticisms will forever change the way readers see the Canterbury Tales and Chaucerâs other masterpieces. Â For Chaucer, erotic pursuits establish the thrust and tenor of many of his narratives, as they also expose the frustrations inherent in pursuing desires frowned upon by the religious foundations of Western medieval culture. One cannot love freely within an ideological framework that polices sexuality and privileges the anti-erotic Christian ideals of virginity and chastity, yet loving queerly creates escapes from social structures inimical to amour and its expressions in the medieval period. Thus Chaucer is not just Englandâs foundational love poet, he is also Englandâs foundational queer poet.

âOffers a welcome vade mecum to the Chaucer reader, whether a student or teacher. Impressively interweaving a lifetime of teaching Chaucer with a deep knowledge of his texts, Pugh compresses into one elegantly written, slim handbook the essential Chaucer. A college course in a book! And not a dull moment in it.ââJane Chance, author of The Literary Subversions of Medieval WomenâOffers clear synopses of the poetâs entire corpus, an engaging description of Chaucerâs life and times, a trenchant analysis of his sources, an engaging assessment of his relation to contemporary poets, and a provocative consideration of his subsequent influence upon English literature, including our own (post-) modern pop-culture. Pugh is particularly insightful regarding matters of genre and gender. His introduction to Chaucer serves as both a tight, bright manual for new students of Middle English as well as an excellent review text for all confirmed lovers of Chaucer.ââWilliam A. Quinn, author of Chaucerâs RehersyngesâFocusing on genre theory and contemporary cultural connections, Pugh has produced a fresh and stimulating introduction to Chaucerâs oeuvre.ââKathleen Forni, author of The Chaucerian ApocryphaâAlways engaging and lucid, An Introduction to Geoffrey Chaucer will help even beginners understand and appreciate the poetâs writing.ââDavid Raybin, coeditor of Chaucer: Contemporary ApproachesGeoffrey Chaucer is widely considered the father of English literature. This introduction begins with a review of his life and the cultural milieu of fourteenth-century England and then expands into analyses of such major works as The Parliament of Fowls, Troilus and Criseyde, and, of course, the Canterbury Tales, examining them alongside a selection of lesser-known verses.Tison Pugh, professor of English at the University of Central Florida, is the author of several books, including Queering Medieval Genres.
