Abstract:
Although original fervor of religious idealism was cooling somewhat and a sense of practicality was taking over, the crusades were far from a dead issue among the commoners as well as the nobles during the fourteenth century. As this century is called 'the real age of propaganda for the crusade,' some writings including late Middle English romances and chivalric treatises stress the justice of the crusades and urge people, in particular, the knights, to action. Chaucer, who was in a precarious position at court and had a perfect understanding of the crusades deeply embedded in the knights' min

Abstract:
The Knight's Tale has often been cited as an example of Chaucer's use of "conventional" or formal style, in contrast to the naturalism of the General Prologue. As Charles Muscatine observes, "When Chaucer writes at either end of the scale of values, indeed, his style becomes correspondingly extreme. When he writes at the Knight's end of the scale 'Of storial thyng that toucheth gentillesse,/ And eek moralitee andhoolynesse,' he leans heavily on conventional forms." This formalism is characterized not only by the use of rhetoric and a "high style" of writing but also by the use of a classical s

Abstract:
This article explores words and actions that foreshadow Palamon’s triumph and Arcite’s defeat in their rivalry for Emily in Geoffrey Chaucer’s ‘Knight’s Tale’. In fact, in accordance with Gustav Freytag’s pyramid about the plot structure, at the second step of the pyramid known as the inciting moment or narrative hook, Chaucer sets in motion the rising action of his story making up suspense. This suspense created by the question the author asks by the end of the first part of the tale in the form of ‘demande d’amour’, leaves free rein

Abstract:
This study examines Geoffrey Chaucer's The Wife of Bath's Tale through Vladimir Propp's narrative functions as a means of understanding how Chaucer follows and subverts traditional structures of folktales. The Canterbury Tales is one of the most important works in medieval literature, while The Wife of Bath's Tale is especially famous for its complex depiction of gender relations, power, and moral teaching. The purpose of the investigation is to explain the structural elements of the tale using Propp's 31 narrative functions applied to folk stories. In mapping these functions onto the tale, th

Although the medieval period is well-known for its otherworldly scholastic view of life, people’s gradual prioritization of material interests is arguably an embodiment of a transformation from scholastic to anthropocentric outlook on life and people. Along with common people’s interest in material gains, the ecclesiastical people’s interest in luxury and ostentation as well as acquisition of material profit are representations of the new paradigm in social area. The growing interest in worldly profits among the clergy and their indulgence in ostentation is the particular point of satire in Ge

Abstract:
The people of the Middle Ages believed animals were disconnected from themselves in terms of ability to reason and ability to resist passions. Humans and animals were created by God, but he bestowed man with a soul and the ability to resist earthly delights. When men were described in terms of their bestial counterparts it was conventionally meant to highlight some derogatory aspect of that character. Chaucer makes use of the animal-image throughout The Canterbury Tales, especially in "The Knight's Tale," to stress a break in each character from humane reason or to emphasize a lean towards a b

Although gift-giving and commerce are common motifs in medieval romance, these three romances depict acts of generosity and exchange that demonstrate fundamental principles of proper behavior by uniting characters in the poems in spite of social divisions such as gender or social class.

Abstract:
My dissertation reexamines Chaucer’s debts to the Consolation by reconciling Boethius’s Neoplatonic distaste for the material world with Chaucer’s poetic celebrations of the variety and sensuality of human life. I revise the understanding of Chaucer’s poetry by recontextualizing it within a new Boethianism that stems from Chaucer’s interaction with the scholastic commentary on the Consolation by Nicholas Trevet. Although critics have long known that Chaucer’s Boece extensively borrows from, glosses, and cross references with Trevet’s commentary, very little attention has been given to what eff

In Chaucer’s story, the main characters’ pain and frustration toward sudden changes in life are much highlighted. This thesis aims to explore how Chaucer rewrites Boccaccio’s Teseida by assimilating the philosophy of Boethius and Christian values so as to understand the meaning of the poem.

To Chaucer, what death is to life, ending is to narrative. In the Canterbury Tales the most problematical is Chaucer’s Retraction in which Chaucer erases all his works except those concerned with moral and Christianity. But ironically, no tales attract more readers’attention than those bawdy tales whose (feigned) authors, according to Chaucer the pilgrim, are morally inferior and

Abstract:
If we’re thinking of a dark Chaucer, Saturn’s speech in the Knight’s Tale comes quickly to mind (I.2453–2478). Although pop culture misguidedly loves The Canterbury Tales best for its fart jokes, the appearance of the old, pale god in the first of the pilgrim stories shows that Chaucer can get very dark indeed. Saturn’s darkness, this essay will argue, should remind scholars of Chaucer to be attentive to our own ineradicable darknesses. We should see our moments of collapse and chaos not just as unfortunate circumstances to be acknowledged (though that is needed desperately) but also as “ways
