{"product_id":"closure-in-the-canterbury-tales","title":"Closure in the Canterbury Tales","description":"For all its spiritual cheerfulness and obvious importance as a tale to conclude tales, a last word from a notable maker of words, The Parson's Tale seems to have inspired \u003ci\u003esentence\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003esolaas\u003c\/i\u003e in remarkably few critics. This volume rejects the tradition that assumes the tale to be of questionable literary value. The studies included span the range of Parson's Tale criticism from the textual, to the philological, to the hermeneutical. What they share is the assumption that if one is to understand the role of The Parson's Tale, one must begin by accepting the language and method by which Chaucer fashioned it. This rethinking of traditional scholarship on this crucial aspect of \u003ci\u003eThe Canterbury Tales\u003c\/i\u003e will be of great interest to Chaucer scholars and students of medieval literature.","brand":"Medieval Institute Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54260042826072,"sku":"9781580440110","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781580440110.jpg?v=1780404329","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/closure-in-the-canterbury-tales","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
