Abstract:
Witnesses believed that the Black Death and subsequent fourteenth-century plagues threatened profound social change. However, Geoffrey Chaucer (c.1340-1400) does not appear to accord the plague a place of any importance in his works. This is especially surprising in the case of the Canterbury Tales , which presents a complex portrait of plague-era society. Chaucer's silence on the plague is reinforced by critical positions that deemphasize the effects of the plague and emphasize Chaucer's supposed lack of interest in his world. This thesis contends that the plague is in fact present in

Abstract:
The author commences with an analysis of the nature of completeness in a variety of situations and media, including visual arts, music, video arts and literature. "Completeness" is determined to be both difficult to define and subject to any individual's personal interpretation. A distinction is made between the 'finished-ness' of works and their completeness as a factor in aesthetic enjoyment. It is noted that some works, though unfinished, are nevertheless complete aesthetically. Various aspects of completeness are defined, discussed, and considered, including absolute, thematic, plot, autho

Abstract:
Though much has been made of Chaucer's saintly characters, relatively little has been made of Chaucer's approach to hagiography. While strictly speaking Chaucer produced only one true saint's life (the Second Nun's Tale), he was repeatedly intrigued and challenged by exemplary literature. The few studies of Chaucer's use of hagiography have tended to claim either his complete orthodoxy as hagiographer, or his outright parody of the genre. My study mediates the orthodoxy/parody split by viewing Chaucer as a serious, but self-conscious, hagiographer, one who experimented with the possibilities o

Abstract:
La thèse porte sur un des ouvrages médiévaux les plus connus en anglais, notamment Les Contes de Cantorbéry de Geoffrey Chaucer (1340 – cc. 1400). L’étude vise à définir la démarche créative de Chaucer à travers les Contes. Nous nous appuyons pour cela sur la théorie bakhtinienne selon laquelle la création événementielle prend forme dans un double mouvement ; elle repose sur un système tout en s'écartant de ce même système. L'étude que nous proposons s'articule autour de trois axes d'analyse. Le point de départ se situe au niveau de la focalisation narrative. Notre démarche constitue à définir

Abstract:
Tournant décisif dans le paysage littéraire médiéval occidental, peu après Il Decameron, The Canterbury Tales consacrent la richesse d'une langue vernaculaire à travers l'expérimentation stylistique et rhétorique, tout en soulignant la narrativité mais aussi l'écriture du texte en train de se faire. Pier Paolo Pasolini puise dans le corps des oeuvres de Boccace et Chaucer l'esprit d'un moyen âge (fantasmé), dont il célèbre la vie. Il y voit également le théâtre privilégié d'une pratique de l'art jubilatoire du récit. L'adaptation ou plutôt vision pasolinienne des Tales, mis en regard avec Il D

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the prejudices in Geoffrey Chaucer‘s The Canterbury Tales. There are thirty pilgrims and twenty-two tales in this grand work. As it is unlikely to discuss all of them in one thesis, I focus my research on four pilgrims—the Miller, the Prioress, the Wife of Bath, and the Pardoner—to demonstrate Chaucer‘s prejudices in various aspects. The chapter on the Miller analyzes how men and women interact in sexual terms in the public domains and private spaces, investigating the poet‘s sexual discrimination in his final distribution of punishments for the characters as well as h
