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 sentence and solaas 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 The Canterbury Tales will be
of great interest to Chaucer scholars and students of medieval
literature.
