520    "An Ideal companion to The Canterbury Tales, this brief, accessible book introduces students to Chaucer's tales and helps them understand the language, genres, forms, historical background, and critical history. This unique handbook devotes extra time to the General Prologue and the first few tales and builds comprehension through basic reading-research exercises. In engaging and student-friendly prose, Elizabeth Scala contextualizes each tale by genre and form and examines crucial matters such as the teller of the tale, historical background, and critical history. She provides just enough information so that students can read or re-read Chaucer with confidence, knowing they can turn to the handbook for help with challenging language or unfamiliar concepts"-- |cProvided by publisher.
