Beloved by scholars, teachers, students, and general readers, it has been given a great many different interpretations. This annotated, international bibliography of twentieth-century criticism on the Prologue is an essential reference guide. It includes books, journal articles, and dissertations, and a descriptive list of twentieth-century editions; it is the most complete inventory of modern criticism on the Prologue. The extensive annotations provide uniquely convenient access to many publications that are otherwise difficult to obtain.In her introduction, Caroline Eckhardt provides a careful and comprehensive overview of modern trends in criticism, trends which can be traced through the bibliography. At the beginning of the century, for example, Chaucer's Prologue was often described as a 'portrait gallery' and praised for its realism - social, psychological, and dramatic. Later in the century came emphases on irony, rhetoric, Freudian interpretations, elaborate allegories, and stylistic complexities. At present, the Prologue is often interpreted as a system of signs and symbols in which realism, if it exists at all, serves purposes beyond itself. The smiling and serene poet of the earlier period has been replaced by a self-conscious ironist, sometimes with a split personality. The portrait gallery of the beginning of the century is still there, though the spectator who walks along it tends to see something less fixed textually (the Prologue is now commonly discussed as work-in-progress) and more complicated structurally, generically, and thematically. It is the spectator, of course, who has changed. 410 0$aChaucer bibliographies. 606 $aChristian pilgrims and pilgrimages in literature$vBibliography 606 $aEnglish poetry$yMiddle English, 1100-1500$vBibliography 606 $aCivilization, Medieval, in literature$vBibliography 606 $aPrologues and epilogues$vBibliography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristian pilgrims and pilgrimages in literature 615 0$aEnglish poetry 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval, in literature 615 0$aPrologues and epilogues 676 $a016.8211 700 $aEckhardt$b Caroline D.$f1942-$0547400 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455830203321 996 $aChaucer's general prologue to the Canterbury tales$9957796 997 $aUNINA
