For Chaucer, however, and in keeping with Christ's admonition from the Sermon on the Mount, the lover does not judge  does not decide on  the beloved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough a series of detailed and rigorously \u0026amp;quot;non-judgmental\u0026amp;quot; readings, Manish Sharma provides new insight into each of the prologues and tales and intervenes into scholarly debates about their collective import. In so doing, \u003ci\u003eThe Logic of Love in the Canterbury Tales\u003c\/i\u003e deploys Chaucer's understanding of charity to consider the limitations of modern critical approaches to the \u003ci\u003eCanterbury Tales\u003c\/i\u003e, including deconstruction, psychoanalysis, and gender theory. In the course of the analysis, Sharma shows not only how love and medieval philosophy together inform Chaucerian composition, but also how Chaucer could serve as a resource for contemporary theoretical reflections on love and ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46819981131934,"sku":"ADS-9781487509033","price":169.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487509033.jpg?v=1778467706","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487509033","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
