1. Author: Shynne, Gwanghyun.
Title: "The Allegory of the 'Retraction' and the Retraction of
Allegory."
Published: Journal of English Language and Literature 42
(1996): 3-21.
Summary: The allegory of ParsPT assumes that literature can
somehow
represent truth, while the theology of ParsPT emphasizes the
impossibility of humanity's comprehending such truth. Ret
espouses a
mediating negative allegory that indicates divine ineffability
and
thereby equates secular and sacred poetries as limited--and
equivalent--means to truth.
In Korean with English abstract.
2. Author: Park, Sae-gon.
Title: The Transition from the Impersonal to the Personal
Construction
in English--with Reference to Data Analysis of the Sentences
that
Contain Infinitives."
Published: Journal of English Language and Literature 41
(1995): 827-45
Summary: Draws examples from "Beowulf" and CT to demonstrate
transition
in impersonal constructions in the Middle English period,
especially
evident in uses of the expletive "it" with an infinitive ("It
happed
hym to ride").
In Korean with English abstract.
Subjects: Language and Word Studies.
3. Author: Moon, Hi Kyung.
Title: "Chaucer's 'Clerk's Tale': A Disrupted Exemplum."
Published: Journal of English Language and Literature (Korea)
40
(1994): 643-55
Summary: Chaucer's sympathy toward women is questionable,
given the
context of ClT and Walter's dominance over Griselda. This
uncertainty
is perpetuated by the double narrative of CT, which presents
the "Tale"
through the voice of a fictional storyteller as well as the
voice of
the author. It is difficult to realize Chaucer's view on
feminism since
he allows Griselda to maintain her identity while placing her
in a
submissive and passive role.
4. Author: Kim, Jaewhan.
Title: "Geoffrey Chaucer and the Medieval Science: Centered
upon
'Canterbury Tales'."
Published: Journal of English Language and Literature 39
(1993):
249-61.
Summary: Surveys Chaucer's use of astrological, alchemical,
and
physiognomic details as devices of narration and
characterization.

Subjects: Background and General Criticism.
5. Author: Kim, Jaewhan.
Title: "The Genre of Canterbury Tales."
Published: Journal of English Language and Literature (Korea)
38
(1992): 213-27.
Summary: Examines the polyphonic aspects of CT, following the
theory of
Bakhtin; regards CT as serio-comic and carnivalesque.
Subjects: Canterbury Tales--General.
6. Author: Kong, Sung-Uk.
Title: "Chaucer's 'The House of Fame" as a Self-Reflexive
Poem.'"
Published: Journal of English Language and Literature (Korea)
38
(1992): 437-52.
Summary: In HF, Chaucer criticizes incompetent poets for
pursuing fame,
claiming fame for himself as a true poet.
In Korean, with English abstract.
Subjects: House of Fame.
7. Author: Kang, Du-Hyoung.
Title: "The Problem of Tragedy in 'The Canterbury Tales.'"
Published: Journal of English Language and Literature (Korea)
37
(1991): 825-41.
Summary: NPT subverts the idea of tragedy reflected in MkT,
and KnT
counterpoints its tragic view of fate. Diverse and
comprehensive in his
outlook, Chaucer is not content with a simple formula.
Subjects: Monk and His Tale. Nun's Priest and His Tale. Knight
and His
Tale.
8. Author: Park, Doo-byung.
Title: "A Study of the Final -e in Chaucer."
Published: Journal of English Language and Literature (Korea)
37
(1991): 761-82.
Summary: Compares several theories of Middle English
pronunciation,
arguing that Chaucer's rhymes require pronunciation of final
-e
In Korean with English abstract.
Subjects: Style and Versification.
9. Author: Kim, Jong-Hwan.
Title: "Dramatic Irony in Chaucer's 'The Franklin's Tale'."
Published: Journal of English Language and Literature (Korea)
35
(1989): 3-12.
Summary: Dramatic irony in FranT and FranP results in
incongruities
between the characters' appearances and their absurdities,
also
demonstrating the Franklin's ill-claimed eloquence and
acquaintance
with rhetoric.
Subjects: Franklin and His Tale.

Title: "Chaucer's Wife of Bath's Tale: Female Sexuality
Confined in a
Prison of Language."
Published: Journal of English Language and Literature (Korea)
48
(2002): 263-87
Summary: By calling his narrator's trustworthiness into
question
through his story-telling devices that he learned from his
literary
predecessors, Chaucer offers his audience the chance of
relying on
judicious and thoughtful independence of mind in sorting out
the
complex messages within a narrative.

Romantic Love as Fiction and as Life.
Medieval English Studies Volume 1 (1993) 21-41
English
Summary: Surveys the development of love from the troubadors
and the
12th century romances, through the 'real-life' experiences
represented
by Dante, then Petrarch, as far as the complexities of
Chaucer's Troilus
and Crisseyde
Lee, Sung-il.

Lim, Hye-Soon.
The Mirror Image on "The Friar's Tale and "The Summoner's
Tale."
Medieval English Studies Volume 1 (1993) 59-75
Korean with English abstract.
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.
Kim, Jae-Whan.
Chaucer's View of Marriage: Centered on "the Franklin's Tale."
Medieval English Studies Volume 1 (1993) 77-93
Korean with 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.
Park, Young-Bae.
Linguistic Diversity in Chaucer's Language.
Medieval English Studies Volume 1 (1993) 95-112
Korean with English abstract.
Summary: The linguistic 'diversite' of 14th-century London
English
provides Chaucer with the means he needed for his literary
work.

Chaucer's The Legend of Good Women: A Self-Apology.
Medieval English Studies Volume 2 (1994) 41-57
Korean with English abstract.
Summary: Chaucer's self-apologetic and self-reflexive aspects
as an
artist are revealed by a comparison of the two Prologues of
the Legend.
Kim, Jae-Whan.
The Parody on the Courtly Love: "the Knight's Tale" and "the
Miller's
Tale."
Medieval English Studies Volume 2 (1994) 59-77
Korean with English abstract.
Summary: The "Miller's Tale" could be read as a parody of the
"Knight's
Tale" and vice versa. The accomplishments of the one could be
better
understood when it is read as a foil of the other.
Chaucer-related
articles
in Medieval English Studies Volume 3 (1995)
Lim, Hye-Soon.
A Study on Chaucer's Use of Loan-Words.
Medieval English Studies Volume 3 (1995) 61-85
Korean with English abstract.
Summary: Chaucer uses loan-words of Norse, Latin, and French
origins,
as devices to heighten the literary effect of various genres.
Kim, Hoyoung.
The Literary Context of The House of Fame and
Chaucer's Via
Negativa.
Medieval English Studies Volume 3 (1995) 87-102
English.
Summary: The House of Fame is deeply concerned with
the
source, function, and limit of poetry. In it, Chaucer uses a
via
negativa in whihc he attains truth by questioning the
possibility of
attaining truth. It enables him to realize how shaky a
foundation his
poetry is based on, yet prepares him for the great achievement
of Troilus.
Kim, Myoung-ok.
Studies in Medieval Literary Theory.
Medieval English Studies Volume 3 (1995) 128-145
Korean.
Summary: Relates The Canterbury Tales to various
medieval
concepts and criteria concerning poetic theory and literary
criticism.

Lee, Yon-hui.
Chaucer's Characterization of Criseyde in Troilus and
Criseyde.
Medieval English Studies Volume 4 (1996) 73-96
Korean with 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.
Yoon, Minwoo.
Chaucer's Fabliaux: Fragment I of the Canterbury Tales.
Medieval English Studies Volume 4 (1996) 97-136
Korean
Summary: Explores various readings of the fabliaux, applying
criteria
from Bakhtin and Lacan.
Lee, Insung.
The Symbolic Meaning of Sea in Chaucer's The Man of Law's
Tale.
Medieval English Studies Volume 4 (1996) 137-147
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.
Lim, Hye-Soon.
Gentil and Free in "the Franklin's Tale".
Medieval English Studies Volume 4 (1996) 149-173
Korean with 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.
An, Sonjae
Patterns of Fractured Discourse in Chaucer's Nun's
Priest's Tale.
Medieval English Studies Volume 4 (1996) 175-189
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.

Gower's Good Women: Confessio Amantis.
Medieval English Studies Volume 5 (1997) 59-82
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.
Kaylor, Noel Harold, Jr.
The Influence of Boethius and Dante upon Chaucer's Troilus
and
Criseyde.
Medieval English Studies Volume 5 (1997) 83-105
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.
Kim, Myoung-ok.
The Medieval Concepts of Poet, Narrator, and Reader Related to
the
Poet, Narrator, and Reader Found in Chaucer's Poetry.
Medieval English Studies Volume 5 (1997) 107-144
Korean.
Summary: Contrasts Chaucer's use of multiple narratorial
voices with
the way other medieval writers write themselves and their
readers into
their texts.
Kang, Ji-Soo.
The (In)Completeness of the Cook's Tale.
Medieval English Studies Volume 5 (1997) 145-170
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.
Ch'oi, Ye-jong.
Sermon and Wyclifism in the Wife of Bath.
Medieval English Studies Volume 5 (1997) 171-200
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.
Lee, Sung-Il.
On Robert Henryson's Testament of Crisseid.
Medieval English Studies Volume 5 (1997) 201-213
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.

The Good, the Bad, and the Holy: Reading the Canterbury
Tales
Medieval English Studies Volume 7 (1999) 63-92
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.
Kim, Jung-Ai
The Monk's Tale: Chaucerian Tragedy
Medieval English Studies Volume 7 (1999) 93-123
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.
Park, Yoon-Hee
The Wife of Bath's Taming of Romance
Medieval English Studies Volume 7 (1999) 125-147
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.
Choi, Yejung
The Legend of Good Women: Reading the Author's 'entente'
Medieval English Studies Volume 7 (1999) 149-175
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.
Na, Yong-jun
"Love, That knetteth lawe of compaingie" in Troilus and
Criseyde
Medieval English Studies Volume 7 (1999) 177-197
English

Summary: Traces Troilus's evolution toward an ever higher
understanding
of cosmic love.

Holding the Center: Chaucer's Book of Troilus and
Dante's Commedia
Medieval English Studies Volume 8 (2000) 95-114
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.

The Narrative Structure of The
Parliament of Fowls
Medieval English Studies Volume 9.1 (2001) 133-153
Korean
English & Korean abstracts
Summary: Studies the relation between the narrative structure
and
meaning Chaucer expects to show in The Parliament of Fowls.
Chaucer employs different
narrative techniques. Some critics criticize this
inconsistency in
narration as irrelevancy or an artistic fault. But this
narrative
inconsistency reflects the author's intention as to the
meaning of the
poem. Different narrative styles serve as an effective way to
reveal
his intended meaning in the poem.

The
Duality
of Fear of Troilus and Criseyde
Medieval English Studies Volume 9.2 (2001) 73-105
Korean
English
and
Korean abstracts
Summary: Studies the two protagonists' fears in Troilus
and Criseyde,
considering that the fearful character of each of them
prepares some
principal motives and parts of their activities. This study is
focused
on how fear is embodied in the character and activity of the
two main
characters, and produces an effect on the
fortune of both in the poem.

Troilus and Criseyde:
The Hidden
Influence of Chaucer's Reading
Medieval English Studies Volume 10.2 (2002) 153-168
English
Korean abstract
Summary: Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde can easily be shown to
have
been influenced by Chaucer's reading of texts by Dante,
Petrarch, and
Boethius. Chaucer's knowledge of works by Dante and Boethius,
and
perhaps of Petrarch's Canzoniere, was such that
readers who
have not read them will be unable to perceive the full
complexity of
the effect of the echoes of them found in Troilus and
Criseyde.
Yet Chaucer nowhere indicates what he is doing and the
interpretations
of his text are rendered the more complex by such secret
strategies.

"The Legend of False Men"?: Chaucer's Legend of Good Women
Re-titled
Medieval and
Early
Modern English
Studies Volume 11.1 (2003) 117-130
English
Korean abstract
Summary: Reductiveness and
stereotyping that arise from the good women/false men
dichotomy cannot
be made to fit the complexities of human experience and the
very
categories of good/bad, true/false, men/women elide and merge
as to
render the literary task given to the narrator pointless. With
the
breakdown of these categories, the grand title of the poem, The
Legend
of Good Women, no longer seems to have any grounds to
stand
upon. The result is that the work comes to a stall. It can no
longer
keep up the pretence of being about women nor about goodness.
The act
of narrating explodes the propaganda of "good women" and
"false men,"
exposing it for what it is, and the reader, who presumably is
a better
reader than the God, too must decline to read on when he/she
finds that
he/she too had been taken in by the false title.

Apocalyptic Imagination and
Historical Text: A Study of The Divine Comedy, the Book
of
the Duchess and Pearl)
Medieval and Early Modern English Studies Volume 11.2 (2003) 243-258
Korean
English abstract
The kind of apocalypse described in Dante's Divina
Commedia, Chaucer's Book of the Duchess and
the
Gawain-poet's Pearl may also be viewed as formal
models of
ending of literary texts. It is more appropriate to regard
the
pilgrim's encounter with God in the Paradiso or the
final
episodes of the dreamers/ narrators in the English works as
the staging
of an apocalyptic moment. Among the three works discussed,
there is
also a radical difference among their views of apocalypse as
a way of
understanding history and temporality. The pilgrim in The
Divine
Comedy sees God within the poem, within history. This
is an
apocalypse that is brought into history. The Book of the
Duchess
and Pearl are about death, loss, and mourning which
are direct
consequences of the historical and temporal nature of
humanity.

Order,
Freedom,
and ‘commune profyt’ in Chaucer's Parlement of Foulys
Medieval and Early Modern English Studies Volume 11.2 (2003) 283-298
English
English abstract
The dreamer-poet in Chaucer’s Parlement of
Foulys was indeed having a vision, but it was a vision
that
constructed and institutionalized a particular set of values
based on
intellectual oppositions or conflicting views, for instance,
freedom
vs. order, consensus vs. dispute, “common
profit” vs. “singular profit,” and,
particularly, the world we live in vs. the world of
words/dreams. The
avian world the dreamer-poet constructed was not a means for
literary
escape from the real. On the contrary, it was firmly
rooted in
the “here and now,” constructed from a vantage point of
socio-political
criticism, and populated by visions of the power of words.

르네상스영문학과 영어학의 경계 넘기: 초서주의(Chaucerism)를 중심으로(Crossing the Boundaries between Renaissance
Literature and Linguistics: A Review of Chaucerism)
Medieval
and Early Modern English
Studies
Volume 12.1 (2004) 67-84
Korean
English abstract
The lexical approach, the study of the English
vocabulary/lexicon, can be extended as one way to cross the
boundaries
between English literature and linguistics, particularly
between
Renaissance literature and linguistics. The paper discusses
the Inkhorn
Controversy in which the borrowing of Latinate words was
either
approved or opposed during the English Renaissance period.
It also
reviews Chaucerism, an alternative to the borrowing of
Latinate words,
suggested by medieval English scholars. Obsolete words from
the
Chaucerism practiced by medievalizing authors including John
Cheke and
Edmund Spenser are thoroughly examined in this paper
referring to OED,
to find out if they have survived in the Present Day English
and if
there might have been any semantic changes.

Since the early 1960’s Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales has been translated
in
parts or in its entirety into Korean. The four published
translations chosen
for the purpose of this review paper ― the translations by J. Kim, B. Song, and
Dong-il Lee and Dongchoon Lee ― are examined according to three criteria: (1)
Was the work translated
with a historical, cultural and religious understanding of
the medieval text?;
(2) Does the target text reflect the literary aspect of the
source text?; and
(3) Does the target text as a whole reflect a consistent
philosophy or
principle of translation?

provides significant clues as to how Chaucer began to create
his
characteristic English poetry since it helps us see
what kind of
poetry an immature poet Chaucer could create under the
influence of
strong foreign inheritance. Dante Alighieri's influence, in
particular,
was crucial in that he provided Chaucer with a vision of the
potential
for vernacular poetry and poetic innovation that made
Chaucer's poetry
different from not only that of his English precursors but
also that of
the great poets of the Continental tradition. In the House
of Fame,
Chaucer's struggle with the nonstandard forms of English and
the lack
of its literary tradition demonstrates how he desired to
build his own
authority and fame with the newly embarking Chaucerian
poetics that
reached its acme in the Canterbury
Tales and Troilus
and Criseyde.

Echoes
of

English abstract
Scholars have identified over 30 points in Troilus and Criseyde
where Chaucer
is clearly translating directly from Dante’s Commedia. Yet he never
indicates
his debt or refers to Dante explicitly. The echoes of Dante’s
text are
particularly dense in the poem’s opening lines in Book 1, at
the moment
in Book 3 when Troilus and Criseyde acheive physical union,
and above
all in the closing section of Book 5. Close examination of
these
sections suggests that Chaucer was pursuing a deliberate, but
hidden
strategy that culminates in the final lines of the poem, by
which
Troilus’s trajectory is deliberately and constantly contrasted
ironically with Dante’s. While Troilus and the poem’s
narratorial voice
identify the sexual union of Book 3 with achieved bliss, the
Dantean
references and Boethian elements invite a quite different
reading. The
references to Statius in Chaucer’s poem, in particular, cannot
be fully
understood without reference to the role he plays in Dante’s Commedia, as the
archetype of the
Christian poet confronting his religious and moral
responsibilities in
a pagan literary tradition. A brief survey of the echoes of
Boethius’ Consolation
in Troilus shows a
similar strategy of indirect, ironic commentary on Troilus’
notions of
happiness.

Body and Text in Chaucer's Man of Law's Tale
Feminist Studies in English Literature 10 (2002): 223-44
[Korean Society for Feminist Studies in English Literature]
The Man of Law's Tale is a good instance for examining the
theoretical
problems relating to the body and the text in medieval
hermeneutics.
This article attempts to show that the Man of Law's Tale
enacts the
uncontrollable signification of the text, revealing how
textual
transmission becomes a process of textual transgression.
