章節(jié)摘錄

　　It is important at this stage to introduce a distinction between the Friar'sand Summoner's tales and the other four （or four-and-a-bit） tales， and toappropriate the technical term fabliau to apply to the latter group. The term is often used broadly for all comic tales oflow life invoMng trickery，　　but there is much advantage in restricting it， in discussing Chaucer， to the tales involving marriage and sex， and setting aside the Friar's and Sum moner's tales for later discussion. The four tales remaining are capable of quite strict definition as fabliaux， as tales， that is， in which a bourgeois　　husband is duped or tricked into conniving at the free award of his wife's sexual favours to a clever young man. Such tales are widespread in Euro-pean tradition， and well known from being included in such numbers in Boccaccio's Decameron or in French collections such as the Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles （'A Hundred New Stories'）. There are very few examples in English: indeed， Chaucer's are almost the only examples of the genre as more strictly defined. It was long believed， because of a convenient assumption about social class and social morality， that the fabliaux could only have been enjoyed by the lower classes， or the bour8eoisie at best，but this belief has been shown to be unfounded，and indeed it seems on the face of it unlikely， given that the pillars of petit-bourgeois society ar。constantly the objects of ridicule， and that the humour of the stories often relies on quite a subtle understanding of the courtly behaviour that istravestied.　　……
