Beschreibung
Unlock the more straightforward side of The Merchant’s Tale with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!
This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Merchant’s Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer, which centres on marriage, a common theme running through
The Canterbury Tales, as the old Januarie weds – and is eventually cuckolded by – the young and beautiful Maye. The Tale shares many features with the bawdy, humorous
fabliau, although it also stands out from this genre with its refined setting, noble characters and sophisticated style. Geoffrey Chaucer was the author of
The Canterbury Tales, a collection of stories which is one of the earliest known examples of English-language literature and has been a key influence on subsequent generations of writers.
