Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 8: A Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc.; July-December 1865
I am not well read in the works of commenta tors on Chaucer, and therefore do not know whe ther anyone has drawn attention to the want of probability in the conduct of the Canterbury Tales, as regards the time occupied in the pilgr'im's journey. Chaucer's power of describing charac ter, as Shown in the introduction to his Tales, has been constantly admired; but did it never occur to him that a certain degree of probability was to be adhered to in respect of the time during which the journey was to be accomplished? The motley group that starts from the Tabard is not described as once halting for the night, between Southwark and Canterbury a distance of more than fifty miles. Their arrival at Deptford, at Rochester, and at Boughton, is mentioned; but they are always travelling on.
