Galván Reula, J. F.   Epos: Revista de Filologia 1 (1984): 19-34.
Focuses on NPT as an example of Chaucer's combination of linguistic ambiguity and limited or unreliable narration, his "modern" features. Chaucer's works are classics because his techniques accord well with the narrative theories of modern critics…

Galván-Reula, J. F.   Lore and Language 10:3 (1984): 63-69.
Discusses NPT in terms of narrator, theme, and ending as elements of a larger poetics than genre.

Galway, Margaret.   Modern Language Review 55 (1960): 481-87.
Offers historical, onomastic, and contextualizing evidence to support the argument that Philippa Paon (or "Panetto," abbreviated "Pan⸱" in the documents) married Chaucer, tracing their affiliations with English royalty, particularly Queen Philippa;…

Galway, Margaret.   Times Literary Supplement, April 4, 1958, p. 183.
Argues from the evidence of life-records that Chaucer might well have accompanied Prince Lionel to Milan in 1368 when the latter wedded Violanta Visconti. Presents this in support of Ethel Seaton's discussion of PF (Medium Aevum 25.3 [1956]: 168-74)…

Galway, Margaret.   Notes and Queries 202 (1957): 371-74

The pathology of Troilus shows conflict between his roles as warrior and lover, reflected in the artistic rendering of his dreams and emotional pain. His agony melds personal sorrow and traditional courtly suffering. Pandarus acts as a…

Gambera, Disa.   Andrew Galloway and R. F. Yeager, eds. Through a Classical Eye: Transcultural and Transhistorical Visions in Medieval English, Italian, and Latin Literature in Honour of Winthrop Wetherbee (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2009), pp. 316-38.
Connections among figurative wounds, literal wounds, and architectural "apertures" in Fragment 1 teach "us to notice the narrative dissonance of bodies and spaces" in CT (334).

Gamble, Giles Y.   Studia Neophilologica 60 (1988): 175-78.
Medieval medical writers regarded love-sickness quite seriously as a disease, a form of madness. Chaucer's extensive use of medical terminology in TC renders his treatment of the lover's affliction more clinical, analytical, and critical than is…

Explores how aspects of Chaucer's works reflect Britishness, Englishness, internationalism, and cosmopolitanism--a "potentially conflicted and unresolved matrix of possibilities" (p. 213). Identifies links and resonances between Chaucer's narratives…

Ganim, John M.   James M. Dean and Christian Zacher, eds. The Idea of Medieval Literature: New Essays on Chaucer and Medieval Culture in Honor of Donald R. Howard (Newark: University of Delaware Press, 1992), pp. 209-26.

Ganim, John M.   Chaucer Yearbook 1 (1992): 65-86.
Challenges the claim that Chaucer is sympathetic to women, demonstrating that he silences Emelye's literary past in KnT and seeks to contain feminine gender through adjustments of Boccaccio's Teseida; the tension between order and chaos in KnT…

Ganim, John M.   ELH 43 (1976): 141-53.
As narrator Chaucer partakes heartily in the general mood of each book of TC. The detached coldness of the poem's apocalyptic ending suggests divine omniscience, making the reader acutely aware of the difference between his perception of the mutable…

Ganim, John M.   Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1990.
Beginning with Kittredge's argument that the thematic and structural unity of CT lies in the pilgrims and their dramatic interchange, and moving to the counterarguments of Muscatine (1957), Robertson (1962), Jordan (1967), Pearsall (1985), and Benson…

Ganim, John M.   Exemplaria 2 (1990): 71-88.
Chaucer represents popular discourse as analogous to social, historical, and even apocalyptic disruption. He thus variously attempts to contain and to release its power: In TC, disruption can be temporarily contained by heroic action; in KnT, it…

Ganim, John M.   John V. Fleming and Thomas J. Heffernan, eds. Studies in the Age of Chaucer, Proceedings, No. 2, 1986. (Knoxville, Tenn.: New Chaucer Society, 1987), pp. 59-71.
Examines the appropriateness and limitations of the "anthropological" approach in Chaucer criticism, specifically the "carnivalesque"--implicit in monastic satire, popular culture and folklore, goliardic parody, and the social dynamics of Chaucer's…

Ganim, John M.   Assays 4 (1986): 51-66.
Popular understanding of their works is a central issue in both Boccaccio and Chaucer. Boccaccio's urbanity and sophistication reflect the qualities of his cultured, mercantile audience. Chaucer (e.g., PardT) is only apparently more naive, working…

Ganim, John M.   Chaucer Review 22 (1987): 112-27.
Though the "Envoy" is in Chaucer's late, masterly style, there is no need to equate the two voices (Chaucer's, the Clerk's). The "carnival" tone of the lines (in M. M. Bakhtin's sense) is appropriate to the Clerk in his "playful, ironic student"…

Ganim, John M.   Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1983.
Explores stylistic and structural discontinuities and the resulting narrator-audience relationship in TC, "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," Lydgate's "Siege of Thebes," and Henryson's "Testament of Cresseid."

Ganim, John M.   Chaucer Review 30 (1996): 294-305
Double-entry bookkeeping, which Chaucer could have learned in Italy, contains "a system of rhetoric as well as a technique." The plot of ShT can be seen as a series of parallel accounts, with the ending as the "closing of the books" on the final…

Ganim, John M.   William A. Quinn, ed. Chaucer's Dream Visions and Shorter Poems (New York and London: Garland, 1999), pp. 463-76.
Assesses criticism of Chaucer's dream visions and lyrics for how it has "predicted" the present state of Chaucer scholarship and as a "test case" for various critical approaches. Issues include the subject and subjectivity; resistance to new critical…

Ganim, John M.   Leonard Michael Koff and Brenda Deen Schildgen, eds. The Decameron and the Canterbury Tales: New Essays on an Old Question (Madison, N.J.: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2000), pp. 128-47.
Explores several of Chaucer's and Boccaccio's characters and how their autobiographical self-invention is both modern and tied to the past. The importance of confession in developing the sense of the individual is played out in the prologues and…
