The Mirror Image on "The Friar's Tale and "The Summoner's Tale."
Korean.

Summary: Explores how the two tales, while being expressions of the mutual
antagonism between the two pilgrims, each reflect the moral degeneracy of their
tellers.
77-93
Kim, Jae-Whan.
Chaucer's View of Marriage: Centered on "the Franklin's Tale."
Korean.
English abstract.
Summary: Through the tale Chaucer tries to show that the vision of the
idealistic marriage cannot be realized without dialectical processes between
the present and the idealistic perspective.
95-112
Park, Young-Bae.
Linguistic Diversity in Chaucer's Language.
Korean.
English abstract.
Summary: The linguistic 'diversite' of 14th-century London English provides

The Parody on the Courtly Love: "the Knight's Tale" and "the
Miller's Tale."
Korean.
English abstract.

Korean

Korean.
73-96
Lee, Yon-hui.
Chaucer's Characterization of Criseyde in Troilus and Criseyde.
Korean.
English abstract.
Summary: Criseyde is sometimes wrongly seen as a simple figure but rather she
should be viewed as a complex and realistic representation, with both tragic
and comic aspects.
97-136
Yoon, Minwoo.
Chaucer's Fabliaux: Fragment I of the Canterbury Tales.
Korean
Summary: Explores various readings of the fabliaux, applying criteria from
Bakhtin and Lacan.
137-147
Lee, Insung.
The Symbolic Meaning of Sea in Chaucer's The Man of Law's Tale.
English.
Summary: In this Tale, Chaucer distinguishes between "water,"
"sea," and "salt sea," and in using the last term seems to
follow Biblical conventions in which the "salt sea" is a demonized
and deadening reality, essentially malignant.
149-173
Lim, Hye-Soon.
Gentil and Free in "the Franklin's Tale".
Korean.
English abstract.
Summary: The pilgrim Franklin shows concern with the theme of gentilesse
in Prologue and Tale. The words 'free' and 'gentil' are almost cognate during
the tale, but the term 'gentil' is higher. By using the word 'free' in the
final question as to which of the 3 active characters was most 'free' the
Franklin betrays a lack of understanding of his own tale.
175-189
An, Sonjae
Patterns of Fractured Discourse in Chaucer's Nun's Priest's Tale.
English.
Summary: Explores points at which the narrative coherence of NPT breaks down
completely and has to begin in a quite new direction, obliging the narrator to
backtrack and inviting readers to explore the limits of narrative form.
191-5
An, Sonjae.
Some Recent Publications and Other News.
English.
Volume 5 (1997)
1-20
Chung, In-ju.
Auchinleck MS. and St. Katherine.
English.
21-57
Lee, Dongchoon.
Chivalry in the Fourteenth Century as Reflected in Sir Gawain and the Green
Knight.
English.
59-82
Kim, Jung-Ai.
Gower's Good Women: Confessio Amantis.
Korean.
Summary: The study compares the treatment of the good women of Chaucer and
those of Gower. Both writers fail to laud good women because of the
preconceived frame of the poems as well as their male-oriented perspective.
83-105
Kaylor, Noel Harold, Jr.
The Influence of Boethius and Dante upon Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde.
English.
Summary: The rise and fall of Troilus's fortunes is based on the Boethian image
of Fortuna's turning wheel but also reflects the movement of Dante's Commedia
in the rise to bliss, then reverses that movement as Troilus loses Criseyde and
returns back through a Purgatory before ending again in Hell.
107-144
Kim, Myoung-ok.
The Medieval Concepts of Poet, Narrator, and Reader Related to the Poet,
Narrator, and Reader Found in Chaucer's Poetry.
Korean.
Summary: Contrasts Chaucer's use of multiple narratorial voices with the way
other medieval writers write themselves and their readers into their texts.
145-170
Kang, Ki-Soo.
The (In)Completeness of the Cook's Tale.
English.
Summary: The incompleteness of the Cook's Tale is seen in the light of medieval
theories of narrative structure and closure / conclusion. It relates to the moral
inconclusiveness of the Reeve's Tale and seems almost deliberately to embody a
final message on closure and meaning at the end of the First Fragment.
171-200
Ch'oi, Ye-jong.
Sermon and Wyclifism in the Wife of Bath.
Korean
Summary: Traces links between the Wife of Bath's Prologue and Wyclifism,
concluding that the text shows that Chaucer was well aware of the deep
significance of Wyclifism and sympathetic toward it.
201-213
Lee, Sung-Il.
On Robert Henryson's Testament of Crisseid.
English.
Summary: Compares Henryson's story with Chaucer's, stressing the superiority of
Chaucer's and finding that Henryson by the time he had finished writing felt a
strong dissatisfaction with his own work.
215-241
Yoon, Minwoo.
The Use of Northern Dialect and Middle Scots in the Scottish Literature.
English.
243-282

An, Sonjae
The Good, the Bad, and the Holy : Reading the Canterbury Tales
English
English & Korean abstracts.
Summary : Chaucer's use of 'worthy' and the many ways in which the Canterbury
Tales play with questions of value lead to a reading of the entire work in
which the (Second) Nun's Tale of St. Cecilia exemplifies the highest value in
human living, that of Holiness.
93-123
Kim, Jung-Ai
The Monk's Tale: Chaucerian Tragedy
Korean
English & Korean abstracts
Summary : Although the Monk seems to suggest that the tragedies he tells can
all be explained by the action of Fortune, there is no consistant concept of
Fortune and the result is a failure.
125-147
Park, Yoon-Hee
The Wife of Bath's Taming of Romance
Korean
English & Korean abstracts
Summary : The Wife of Bath's Tale, sometimes felt by critics to betray
Chaucer's latent feminism by its harmonious ending, should rather be read as a
subversion of traditional male discourse.
149-175
Choi, Yejung
The Legend of Good Women: Reading the Author's 'entente'
Korean
English & Korean abstracts
Summary : If the God of Love and Alceste criticize Chaucer, it is as
representatives of a text community based on Augustinian hermeneutics;
Chaucer undermines the legitimacy of their view of poetry, inscribing his own
presence and intent in the poem.
177-197
Na, Yong-jun
"Love, That knetteth lawe of compaignie" in Troilus and Criseyde

Holding
the Center: Chaucer's Book of Troilus and Dante's Commedia
English
English abstract
Summary: Relates the structure of Troilus, where Troilus's happiness reaches
its apex it the very center of the poem's line-count, to structures found in
Dante's Commedia and to themes of fortune's changes from Boethius.
