Description

Of all the stories that comprise The Canterbury Tales, certain ones have attracted more attention than others in terms of literary scholarship and canonization. The Monk’s Tale, for instance, was popular in the decades after Chaucer’s death, but has since suffered critical neglect, particularly in the twentieth century. The opposite has occurred with the Nun’s Priest’s Tale, which has long been one of the most popular and widely discussed of the tales, cited by some critics as the most essentially ‘Chaucerian’ of them all.

This annotated bibliography is a record of all editions, translations, and scholarship written on The Monk’s Tale and the Nun’s Priest’s Tale in the twentieth century with a view to revisiting the former and creating a comprehensive scholarly view of the latter. A detailed introduction summarizes all extant writings on the two tales and their relationship to each other, giving a sense of the complexity of Chaucer’s seminal work and the unique function of its component stories. By dealing with these two tales in particular, this bibliography suggests the complicated critical reception and history of The Canterbury Tales.
