Description
Describes the emphasis on short stories in the Danish literary magazine "Cavalcade" and analyzes several of its Danish translations from CT published in the late 1940s, suggesting that the translators--Lis Thorbjørnsen and Jørgen Sonne--were influenced by editorial policy in presenting Chaucer's tales as prose short stories rather than narrative poetry. Examines changes in plot, detail, and diction. In English with an abstract in French.
