The Comic Tales of Chaucer, Band 10Methuen, 1964 - 156 Seiten "This is the first book to deal wholly with Chaucer's comic tales. Each of the eight chapters is a critical appreciation of one or more of the tales, these being: the Miller's; the Reeve's; the Shipman's; the Nun's; Priest's; Sir Thopas, the Cook's and the Cannon's Yeoman's; the Friars; the Summoner's; and the Merchant's. The individual tales are not, however, discussed in isolation, but always with reference to the others, and (to a lesser degree) to Chaucer's poetry as a whole. By this comparison and analysis, Dr. Craik shows some general features of Chaucer's many-sided art: in particular, he considers Chaucer as a story-teller and a poet, and he regards the tales, not primarily as expressions of the pilgrim's personalities (the usual view), but as comic narrative poems in their own right. This book is intended not only for professional students of literature, but also for 'the common reader' who already enjoys Chaucer's poetry and humor and who wishes to add to his enjoyment.
