Beyond the Gothic Cathedral: Post-Modern Reflections in 'The Canterbury Tales'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 28 (1994): 279-92.
- Description
- The ending of CT is intentionally ambiguous,leaving the choice of a final meaning--if there "is" one--to the reader. The most characteristically "Chaucerian" reading of the ending is also the most modern: to choose not to make a choice is to make certain that one does not choose amiss.
