초록
The Squire’s Tale has seemed to many readers an incomplete performance. The scribes of two of the earliest manuscripts, Ellesmere and Cambridge University Library MS Dd.4.24, evidently did think so, since they left part of a leaf blank where the Squire’s Tale breaks off, as if they suspected that their exemplars did not include Chaucer’s complete production. Thanks to the innovations of digital research, in our time, critical questions related to the Squire’s Tale, including its genre, order, date, and meaning, can be newly explored in and beyond medieval manuscript studies. This paper argues that the particular physical features of the Ellesmere Manuscript within which Chaucer’s Squire’s Tale is compiled and left incomplete can be better appreciated in terms of genre, namely, medieval English romance.
Abstract
The Squire’s Tale has seemed to many readers an incomplete performance. The scribes of two of the earliest manuscripts, Ellesmere and Cambridge University Library MS Dd.4.24, evidently did think so, since they left part of a leaf blank where the Squire’s Tale breaks off, as if they suspected that their exemplars did not include Chaucer’s complete production. Thanks to the innovations of digital research, in our time, critical questions related to the Squire’s Tale, including its genre, order, date, and meaning, can be newly explored in and beyond medieval manuscript studies. This paper argues that the particular physical features of the Ellesmere Manuscript within which Chaucer’s Squire’s Tale is compiled and left incomplete can be better appreciated in terms of genre, namely, medieval English romance.
