Chaucer's Canterbury Tales is one of the oldest and most widely
studied works of English literature. The tales provide a glimpse of
medieval life, and the professions of the pilgrims figure
prominently in the poetry. To have a clear understanding of
Chaucer's work, the reader needs to know about the vocations of the
pilgrims. For some 600 years, this information has been difficult
to locate. This reference work conveniently synthesizes and
discusses information about the occupation of each of Chaucer's
pilgrims and provides an historical context. The volume contains
individual entries for each of Chaucer's pilgrims, and the entries
share a similar format to foster comparison. Each entry includes
three parts. First, the pilgrim's profession is discussed in terms
of the daily routine of the medieval occupation. Second, the
vocation is examined in terms of its reflection in the tale told by
the pilgrim. Third, the vocation and the tale are discussed, when
possible, in relation to the descriptions of the characters
provided in the "General Prologue." Each entry includes a
bibliography, and the volume concludes with a list of works for
further reading.
