Abstract
The essay, reprinted from an earlier volume of the journal, presents a literary critique of the General Prologue from Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales." Focus is given to the prologue's focus on girdles, belts and similar objects as a theme in the work. Commentary highlights Chaucer's use of the objects to criticize the lack of virtues in the religious figures in the story.
