According to Harold Bloom, Chaucer is one of those great writers who defeat almost all criticism. Nevertheless, this volume pulls together some of the best criticism on The Pardoner's Tale, which is a part of Canterbury Tales. The title, Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Pardoner's Tale, part of Chelsea House Publishers’ Modern Critical Interpretations series, presents the most important 20th-century criticism on Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Pardoner's Tale through extracts of critical essays by well-known literary critics. This collection of criticism also features a short biography on Geoffrey Chaucer, a chronology of the author’s life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University.
