The Form of "The Canterbury Tales": "Respice Fines."

Description: Seeks to illuminate "the kind of order that Chaucer was in the process of imposing" on the CT, focusing on the "definite beginning" and "definite end" rather than the "great middle." Treats GP, where Chaucer sets his topic ("variety of the created world"), and KnT and MLT as, respectively, philosophical and religious guides to the world, with ParsT serving as a necessary penitential alterative to the limitations of such perspectives.
