CONTENTS FOREWORD INTRODUCTION GEOFFREY CHAUCER: A BIOGRAPHY CHAPTER
ONE: THE STRUCTURE AND LANGUAGE OF THE CANTERBURY TALES 1. WHERE DID
CHAUCER GET HIS IDEA FOR THE CANTERBURY TALES? BY DONALD R. HOWARD
CHAUCER S BASIC IDEA FOR THE FORM AND STRUCTURE OF HIS MAS- TERPIECE,
THE CANTERBURY TALES, MAY WELL HAVE BEEN SIMPLY TO PUT A MIRROR UP TO
LIFE, TO PRESENT EVERYDAY PEOPLE S AC- TIONS AND BELIEFS AS THEY WERE IN
HIS DAY, AND TO ALLOW HIS READERS TO DRAW WHATEVER THEY MAY FROM THE
WORK. 2. CHAUCER S USE OF A GAME AS THE INNER FRAMEWORK FOR THE TALES BY
GLENDING OLSON AS THE PILGRIMS SET OUT FOR CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL, THEIR
HOST, HARRY BAILLY, SUGGESTS THAT THEY PLAY A STORYTELLING GAME IN WHICH
EACH, IN TURN, PRESENTS A TALE. THIS GAME IS THE DE- VICE THAT CHAUCER
USED TO TIE TOGETHER THE VARIOUS PILGRIMS AND THE CHARACTERS AND THEMES
OF THEIR STORIES. 3. THE USE OF THE NARRATOR IN THE CANTERBURY TALES BY
DIETER MEHL IN THE CANTERBURY TALES, AS IN MOST OF HIS OTHER WORKS,
CHAUCER USES THE LITERARY DEVICE OF THE NARRATOR TO GREAT EFFECT, NOT
ONLY AS A WAY OF INTRODUCING THE SETTINGS AND CHARACTERS, BUT ALSO TO
PRESENT IDEAS AND INFORMATION THAT HELP HIS READERS TO EXPLORE THE
NATURE OF GOOD, EVIL, AND OTHER IMPORTANT THEMES INHERENT IN HUMAN
SOCIETY. 4. THE SYMBOLIC TIME FRAME OF THE CANTERBURY JOURNEY BY SIGMUND
EISNER IN CHAUCER S DAY, THE JOURNEY FROM SOUTHWARK, A LONDON SUBURB, TO
CANTERBURY USUALLY TOOK THREE OR FOUR DAYS. YET IN THE CANTERBURY TALES
THE PILGRIMS MAKE THE TRIP IN A SINGLE DAY. FOR THIS REASON MANY
SCHOLARS SUSPECT THAT CHAUCER SENT HIS CHARACTERS ON A JOURNEY MORE
SYMBOLIC THAN REAL. 5. CHAUCER S LANGUAGE AND VERSE BYM.W. GROSE READING
CHAUCER S VERSE IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM IS USUALLY DIF- FICULT FOR THE
UNINITIATED; HENCE THE MANY MODERN TRANSLA- TIONS OF HIS WORKS. HOWEVER,
A LITTLE PATIENT STUDY OF HOW THE WORDS, PRONUNCIATIONS, AND RHYTHMS OF
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE HAVE CHANGED OVER THE CENTURIES REWARDS THE READER
WITH THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND AND ENJOY CHAUCER S LINES EXACTLY AS HE
WROTE THEM. CHAPTER TWO: IMPORTANT THEMES IN THE CANTERBURY TALES 1. THE
THEME OF RELIGIOUS PILGRIMAGE IN THE CANTERBURY TALES BY ESTHER C. QUINN
74 CHAUCER DID NOT ARBITRARILY CHOOSE A RELIGIOUS PILGRIMAGE AS THE
SETTING OF THE CANTERBURY TALES. WITHIN THE LARGER FRAMEWORK OF THE
CANTERBURY PILGRIMAGE, HE WOVE A COM- PLEX WEB OF RELIGIOUS CHARACTERS,
IDEALS, MIRACLES, AND LESSONS, ALL OF WHICH NOT ONLY SERVE TO UNIFY THE
WORK, BUT ALSO REFLECT THE AUTHOR S PERSONAL INTEREST IN AND VIEWS OF
THE RELIGION OF HIS DAY. 2. SOCIAL RANK IN THE CANTERBURY TALES BY
DONALD R. HOWARD 84 IN THE GENERAL PROLOGUE TO THE CANTERBURY TALES,
CHAUCER PRESENTS THE WORK S VARIOUS CHARACTERS, MOST OF WHOM WILL LATER
TELL STORIES. CHAUCER RANKS THESE CHARACTERS NOT ONLY BY THEIR SOCIAL
CLASSES, BUT ALSO BY THEIR PERCEIVED MORAL STANDINGS AS MEMBERS OF THOSE
CLASSES. 3. THE THEME OF MARRIAGE IN THE CANTERBURY TALES BY G.L.
KITTREDGE 91 THE STORIES CONSTITUTING THE SO-CALLED MARRIAGE GROUP ARE
AMONG THE MOST FAMOUS AND OFTEN DISCUSSED PORTIONS OF THE CANTERBURY
TALES. THE WIFE OF BATH, CLERK, MERCHANT, AND OTHERS OFFER A WIDE
ASSORTMENT OF VIEWS ABOUT WHAT CONSTITUTES A GOOD, LOVING MARITAL
RELATIONSHIP. 4. TECHNOLOGY AND DECEPTION IN THE CANTERBURY TALES BY
JOYCE T. LIONARONS 101 A BRASS HORSE THAT CAN FLY THROUGH THE AIR, A
RING THAT RE- VEALS THE LANGUAGE OF BIRDS, AND A MAN WHO CREATES THE IL-
LUSION OF ROCKS DISAPPEARING FROM A BEACH ARE BUT A FEW OF THE EXAMPLES
OF SEEMINGLY MAGICAL TECHNOLOGY IN THE CAN- TERBURY TALES. MORE OFTEN
THAN NOT, CHAUCER S CHARACTERS USE SUCH DEVICES AND POWERS TO FOOL
PEOPLE. 5. ROMANCE IN THE CANTERBURY TALES BY J.A. BURROW 109 THE THEME
OF ROMANCE, AS IN ADVENTURE TALES OF CHIVALROUS KNIGHTS, WAS HUGELY
POPULAR IN MEDIEVAL LITERATURE. YET UN- LIKE MANY OF HIS CONTEMPORARIES
CHAUCER CHOSE NOT TO IN- CLUDE TRADITIONAL ROMANCES IN HIS CANTERBURY
TALES; IN- STEAD, HE INCORPORATED SPECIFIC ROMANTIC CLICHES, SUCH AS THE
HAPPY ENDING, OR TREATED ROMANCE IN MORE SUBTLE WAYS. CHAPTER THREE:
SPECIFIC CHARACTERS AND STORIES IN THE CANTERBURY TALES 1. SKETCHES OF
THE CHARACTERS IN THE CANTERBURY . TALES BY MARCHETTE CHUTE 118
THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE, CHAUCER MET AND CLOSELY OBSERVED PEOPLE OF ALL
TYPES, PROFESSIONS, AND SOCIAL CLASSES, STORING IN HIS MEMORY THE
DETAILS OF THEIR APPEARANCES, MANNER- ISMS, BELIEFS, AND WHAT HE SAW AS
THEIR GOOD AND BAD POINTS. EVENTUALLY, HE PACKED THIS LIFETIME OF
OBSERVATION INTO THE CANTERBURY TALES, WHICH CONTAINS SOME OF THE
GREATEST AND MOST REALISTIC CHARACTER DESCRIPTION IN ALL OF LITERATURE.
2. THE KNIGHT S TALE: A STATELY STORY OF UNEVEN JUSTICE BY MICHAEL
STEVENS 129 THE KNIGHT S TALE IS THE STORY OF TWO WORTHY WARRIORS WHO
BOTH STRIVE FOR THE AFFECTIONS OF THE SAME FAIR MAIDEN. CHAUCER
ENDEAVORS TO SHOW THAT THE DEATH OF ONE KNIGHT AND SUBSEQUENT MARRIAGE
OF THE OTHER TO THE MAIDEN MAY SEEM UNJUST; BUT THESE EVENTS MUST BE
VIEWED PHILOSOPHI- CALLY, AS PART OF PROVIDENCE S MYSTERIOUS PLAN FOR
HUMANITY. 5. CHAUCER S PRIORESS IN REAL LIFE BY EILEEN POWER 136 WHEN
SHE WAS NOT TRAVELING TO CANTERBURY WITH THE OTHER PILGRIMS, CHAUCER S
PRIORESS, MADAME EGLENTYNE, WAS BUSY RUNNING THE NUNNERY WHERE SHE HAD
LIVED SINCE SHE WAS A YOUNG GIRL. THE EVERYDAY ROUTINE OF CLOISTERED
LIFE AND THE PERFORMANCE OF HER MANY AND VARIED DUTIES HELPED TO SHAPE
HER UNIQUE CHARACTER, WHICH COMBINED A STATELY MANNER WITH A PITEOUS,
KINDHEARTED NATURE. 4. THE CHURLISH MILLER S VULGAR TALE BY MARGARET
HALLISSY 148 A YOUNG WIFE SNEAKING HER LOVER INTO HER BEDROOM BEHIND HER
HUSBAND S BACK, A YOUNG SCHOLAR PRETENDING TO BE CRAZY, AND A YOUNG MAN
RECEIVING A HOT BRANDING IRON ON HIS REAR END ARE AMONG THE SLAPSTICK
SITUATIONS THAT ABOUND IN CHAUCER S BAWDY MILLER S TALE. 5. THE MORAL OF
THE NUN S PRIEST S TALE BY SAUL N. BRODY 155 THE SETTING OF THIS TALE,
LONG ONE OF CHAUCER S MOST POPU- LAR, IS A BARNYARD INHABITED BY A
TALKING ROOSTER AND OTHER ANIMALS DISPLAYING HUMAN TRAITS. THE LESSON OF
THE STORY COMES DIRECTLY OUT OF THIS CLEVER MIX OF OBVIOUS FANTASY AND
SOME VERY REAL ASPECTS OF THE HUMAN CONDITION. 6. THE BLOCKHEAD
PILGRIM CHAUCER AND HIS TWO TALES BY TREVOR WHITTOCK 163 ONE OF THE
BEST.JOKES IN THE CANTERBURY TALES OCCURS WHEN THE CHARACTER WHO IS BOTH
WITNESSING AND NARRATING THE EVENTS OF THE PILGRIMAGE, CHAUCER HIMSELF,
STEPS FORWARD TO TELL TWO LUDICROUS AND INEPT STORIES. THE REAL CHAUCER
WAS FAR FROM INEPT, OF COURSE, AS HIS CLEVER USE OF THE TALE OF MELIBEUS
SHOWS . 7. THE PARDONER S TALE: A QUEST FOR DEATH BY MICHAEL HOY 168 ONE
OF THE MOST COLORFUL OF CHAUCER S CHARACTERS IS THE PAR- DONER, AN OILY
AND UNSCRUPULOUS INDIVIDUAL WHO TAKES AD- VANTAGE OF POOR, IGNORANT
FOLK. HIS MORBID BUT FASCINATING TALE IS A COMPELLING ODYSSEY THROUGH
THE WAGES OF SIN AND DASTARDLY DEATH, IN WHICH THE MAIN CHARACTERS ARE
REFLEC- TIONS OF HIS OWN DISREPUTABLE CHARACTER. CHRONOLOGY 180 WORKS BY
