- Description
- Explores the phenomenon of literary analogues through a pragmatic and structuralist analysis of four salient components of narrative, each illustrated with examples from Chaucer's fabliaux and their analogues in various European languages. The conclusion calls attention to two aspects that set Chaucer's fabliaux apart from the analogues: their context in CT and their explicit intertextuality. The study ends with reflections on the concept of analogy.
