- Description
- Considers the "post-Chaucer continuations and additions" to CT, particularly so-called "spurious" links between tales, "Siege of Thebes," "Tale of Beryn," "Canterbury Interlude," "Ploughman's Tale," "Plowman's Tale," "Tale of Gamelyn," and alternative endings to CkT. Considers the Tales as interactive, dynamic, polyvocal, game-like, and "ergodic," and argues that readers should appreciate the post-Chaucerian additions to CT as part of its reception history.
