Abstract:The Squire's Tale conveys a fragmented reality through its portrayal of the East, which is both strange and familiar. By imagining the Orient as a mysterious, though stereotypical, novelty and contrasting it with the novelties in pars secunda's romance, Chaucer denotes a reverence for wonder—affording the Other solemn dignity.
