Framing the Canterbury Tales: Chaucer and the Medieval Frame Narrative Tradition - Contributions to the Study of World Literature
Katharine S. Gittes Sandstrom
This study finds a blending of two frame narrative traditions in the "Canterbury Tales", one that originated in India and the Near-East and the other in ancient Greece. It compares Chaucer's work to a number of pre-Chaucerian frame narratives that influenced his form, as well as contemporary works.
