- Description
- Manuscript evidence is inconclusive in discovering Chaucer's intention or the coherence and unity of CT. Chapter 2 reacts to D. Howard, "The Idea of the 'Canterbury Tales'," in the concern for genre, text, and reader.
- Rogers discusses KnT, MilT, RvT, and CkT in the context of social order and individual freedom; MLT as a Christian poem; WBT, FrT, SumT, ClT, MerT, and FranT as earthly experience; PhyT, PardT, and the problem of evil; ShT, PrT, Th, Mel, MkT, SNT, CYT, ManT, NPT, and the problem of language; ParsT and Ret as conclusion.
