Charles's splendid court in Prague was renowned across Europe for its patronage of literature, art and architecture, and Anne and her entourage brought with them some of its glamour and allure - their fashions, extravagance and behaviour provoking comment from English chroniclers. For Chaucer, a poet and diplomat affiliated to Richard's court, Anne was more muse than patron, her influence embedded in a range of his works, including the Parliament of Fowls, Troilus and Criseyde, the Legend of Good Women and Canterbury Tales. This volume shows Bohemia to be a key European context, alongside France and Italy, for understanding Chaucer's poetry, providing a wide perspective on the nature of cultural exchange between England and Bohemia in the later fourteenth century. The contributors consider such matters as court culture and politics, the writings of Richard Rolle, artistic style, Troy stories, historiographic writing and travel narrative; they highlight the debt Chaucer owed to Bohemian culture, and the affinities between English and Bohemian literary production, whether in the use of Petrarch's tale of Griselde, the iconography of the tapster figure, or satires on the Passion of Christ" -- |cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Chaucer, Geoffrey, |d-1400 |xCriticism and interpretation. 600 17 Chaucer, Geoffrey, |d-1400. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01812213 651 0 England |xIntellectual life |yTo 1500. 651 0 Bohemia (Czech Republic) |xIntellectual life |yTo 1500. 650 7 Intellectual life. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00975769 651 7 Czech Republic |zBohemia. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01243096 651 7 England. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01219920 648 7 To 1500 |2fast 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 Brown, Peter, |d1948- |eeditor. 700 1 Čermák, Jan, |d1962- |eeditor. 830 0 Chaucer studies ; |v49. 949 Order on Demand |wASIS |hJOYNER219 960 |o1 |s115.00 |uJENG |zUSD 961 |fDMD |m138099 596 1 998 6302964
