Helen Barr populates her book with Chaucer stand-ins, doubles, images, lurkers and avatars – all testifying to the inexhaustible suggestiveness of the original text and its unending cultural resonance. This is a bold book, a true departure, teeming with new leads and prompts and suggestions.  It is essential reading, the best on its subject to appear in a long, long time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Strohm, Anna S.
