Going along with our discussion of the relevancy of the
Canterbury Tales i
n contemporary analysis, here is one reading I have come across that deals with three tales, the Wife's, the Pardoner's, and the Knight's, and looks at them through a rather deconstructionist view which then goes into a great deal of postmodern analysis. Specifically, Leicester attempts to rely on a more psychological view of the tales, and his argument becomes quite different from any that we have discussed in class. Check it out:
Leicester, Henry Marshall. The Disenchanted Self: Representing the
Subject in the Canterbury Tales. Berkley and Los Angeles, California:
University of California Press, 1990. Web. 2 Nov. 2015
