'Tyl Mercurius House He Flye' : Early Printed Texts and Critical Readings of the Squire's Tale
- Published
- Chaucer Review 34: 309-16, 2000.
- Description
- Although modern readers read SqT as parody, such a reading would have seemed "preposterous" to pre-eighteenth-century readers, who were concerned with sententiae. Pairing tales, pouring over large sections of text, and engaging in self-reflections (although possibly intended by Chaucer) are modern methods of viewing literature.
