Resumen

The object of this paper is to study the fluctuation of the narrative point of view, or localization in the sketches of the Pilgrims in Chaucer's "General Prologue", and then to account for the resulting paradox. Whereas the compositional devices used in the text seem to inhibit any possible sense of verisimilitude, the received critical tradition tends to recognize the Pilgrims as highly realistic representatives of fourteenth-century life.
