Abstract
One of the problems encountered in the study of the Canterbury Tales is an evaluation of the role of the narrator and his degree of participation in the Tales. Students and readers of Chaucer have been "conscious of an elusive author who is both in and out of his narrative as it suited his purposes." Today critical studies have delved deeper into the possibilities inherent in the issue and the question now is "to decide whether he has a consistently definable ethos and intellect."
