In "Chaucer and the Seven Deadly Sins," Frederick Tupper delves into the pervasive influence of the seven deadly sins on Geoffrey Chaucer's works. This study explores how these moral failings-pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth-are manifested in Chaucer's characters and narratives. Tupper's analysis provides a rich understanding of the ethical and religious context of Chaucer's era, illuminating the ways in which medieval society grappled with questions of morality and human frailty.
Through close readings of Chaucer's major works, the book reveals how the poet used the framework of the seven deadly sins to critique social norms and explore the complexities of human nature. This volume will appeal to scholars and students of medieval literature, religious studies, and ethical thought, offering valuable insights into the enduring relevance of Chaucer's work.
