The Squire as Story-Teller

Abstract

No one has paid very much attention to the Squire's Tale since Kittredge relegated it to the status of an "interlude" in the Marriage-group. One reason for this might have been a sneaking feeling that it is not worth much attention anyway, and that we can regard it, as Chaucer did, as so much integument in the main structure of the Canterbury Tales at this point. Of course, there have been attempts to raise the Squire's Tale from "interlude" to "dramatic interlude," to show that it has at least some reference to the discussion of women and marriage.
