WHAT'S NEW?


Chaucer's "Orphan" Pilgrims

Which pilgrims in the General Prologue do not get to tell a tale?  What kind of tale might they have told?


1.  In Middle English

The General Prologue at the University of Virginia's Electronic Text Center (from Robinson 1957).

The General Prologue at the University of Michigan's Corpus of Middle English Verse and Prose (from Robinson 1957).

2.  In Modern English Translation

3.  Historical & Cultural Backgrounds

Guilds were an integral part of medieval society, both in towns and in the countryside.  Peruse Medieval English Towns, Stephen Alsford's excellent site for more information about all aspects of town culture.

4.  Sources, Analogues, & Related Texts

5.  Online Notes & Commentary

6.  Online Articles & Books

Brian W. Gastle's "Chaucer's "Shaply" Guildsmen and Mercantile Pretensions," an e-print of an article from Neuphilologische Mitteilungen, offers a reading which "turns the portrait into much less a critique of contemporary London politics than a further criticism of the petty bourgeois pretensions of the five guildsmen." 

7.  Student Projects & Essays

Anniina Jokkinen's Essays and Articles on Chaucer includes a number of sample student essays, of varying quality.  Like any other source, student essays must be evaluated rigorously, cited correctly, and  used responsibly.
