Individual essays pertain to each of the pilgrims mentioned in GP--including the five guildsmen, the Host (innkeeper), and the narrator (writer and pilgrim)--and to the pilgrims who approach the pilgrimage late--the Canon (canon and alchemist) and the Canon's Yeoman. The guide includes an index and a selected bibliography in addition to the selected bibliographies that accompany each essay.
