- Published
- PMLA 82 (1967): 226-35.
- Description
- Concentrates on the links between the Tales in Part 7 of CT, arguing that this "Literature Group" is concerned primarily with the "art of storytelling," particularly the responsibilities of audience and author as dramatized in the directions and reactions of the Host to the Tales and their tellers. Includes sustained attention to Chaucer as artist and as tale-teller, the Host as "editor and judge," and the paired concerns of "sentence" and "solaas" established in GP and assessed in Rom.
