Description
SqT is Chaucer's one foray into the genre of "interlace" romance, where characters and episodes are treated, then dropped, and subsequently treated again. SqT is not a parody like Th; it is a different genre that Chaucer wanted to try. He did not complete SqT because his talents were not suited to this kind of writing.

Chaucer Subjects
Squire and His Tale.
