Constructing Chaucerauthor and autofiction in the critical tradition /[electronic resource] :Geoffrey W. Gust. - 1st ed. - New York, NY :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xiv, 286 p. ;22 cm. - The new Middle Ages. - New Middle Ages (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)).

Includes bibliographical references (p. [257]-275) and index.

Persona and personalities: medieval lineage, modern legacy -- Getting a life: biographical construction of Chaucer the man -- Chaucer speaks: memories of the man? -- Lives of their own: the Wife of Bath, the Pardoner and critical (dis)approval -- Claiming the "popet": ethics, evasion, and thePilgrim's progress.

Constructing Chaucer examines the scholarly appropriation and manipulation of Geoffrey Chaucer since his death in 1400 and seeks to enhancethe theoretical dialogue on the famous author's reception history by challenging long-standing assumptions about the "Father of English Poetry". In response to the academy's recent disregard for the narrative persona-construct that was especially prominent in medieval literatures, this book offers a new and historically-based version of persona-theory and applies the paradigm to the reception of key texts where Chaucer's use of the persona is most acute. This method is centered upon the fresh concept of "autofiction", which is offered in order to recuperate andrevitalize the persona as a critical tool. By applying the theory of autofiction to Chaucer's verse, Gust questions age-old traditions, presents a series of provocative new interpretations, and fosters a more complete understanding of the ideologies of Chaucer criticism.
