"…Woods's monograph on Chaucerian spaces is a welcome addition to current scholarly interest in space and place … [it] is a well-written and thought-provoking book which combines close attention to language and narrative with the new perspective which space offers as a method of enquiry. This book will appeal to both students and academics and will no doubt stimulate further research into Chaucer's spatial poetics." — Medium Ævum"Woods's human ethos, engaging manner, and deep experience with Chaucer's texts, as well as his intimate familiarity with critical conversations of the 1980s and 1990s, animate his first book … Woods provides beautifully crafted and balanced readings for the tales he treats." — Speculum – A Journal of Medieval Studies"Chaucerian Spaces is usually thought-provoking, often entertaining … those interested in arguments about space and placement in Chaucer will find it well worth examining." — Journal of English and Germanic Philology"This is a thoughtful, well-written study that can be recommended to students encountering Chaucer for the first time as well as to specialists." — Review of English Studies
