Jameson S. Workman
Book Description
Drawing from classical myth, the history of philosophy, literature, film, music, and painting, Workman connects the artistic claims of Chaucer and tests them against similar gestures in the history of philosophy and literature. What results is a radical retake on Chaucer as a philosopher and poet, upending any preconceived views.

Editorial Review
Chaucer and the Death of the Political Animal will be of interest to those who are employed in comparative approaches to literature as well as to scholars interested in Chaucer's poetics and its relation to philosophical practice. It will also be a valuable book for those who wish to entertain new and imaginative ways of reading canonical poetry from the edge of scholarly tradition.
