Descripción: A balanced appreciation of poetry requires both the objective and subjective methods of literary criticism, but it is generally agreed, as W. W. Lawrence writes of the Canterbury Tales, that “the further we recede from our own times, the less can impressionistic analysis stand by itself, no matter how penetrating the imagination behind it.” The main direction of recent Chaucerian scholarship had been to show the inadequacies in purely subjective appreciation. Since in the Middle Ages literature was largely the preserve of the aristocracy and the Church, a knowledge of medieval society and religion is required in understanding poetry dealing with these institutions.
