With his Miller's Tale, Chaucer transformed a colorless Middle Dutch account into the lively, dramatic story of raunchy Nicholas, sexy Alison, foolish John and squeamish Absolon. This book focuses on the ways Chaucer made his narrative more effective through dialogue, scene division, music, visual effects and staging. The author pays special attention to the description of John the carpenter's house, the suspension of the three tubs from the beams, and the famous shot-window through which the story's bawdy climax is enacted. The book's second half covers more than 30 of the tale's retellings--translations, adaptations, bowdlerized versions for children, coloring books, novels, musicals, plays and films--and examines the ways the retellers have followed Chaucer in dramatizing the story, giving it new life on stage and screen. The Miller's Tale has had many lives--it promises to have many more.

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Miller’s Tale” is the second tale of The Canterbury Tales. That this place in the order of the tales is not a result of coincidence but is clearly done by purpose is one conclusion of this paper. The following does not only offer a close look at the single tale and its characteristics, but also shows how these relate to other tales of The Canterbury Tales, especially to “The Knight’s Tale,” which precedes it. It is necessary to shortly describe the tale’s plot at first, which is done in the next chapter. The tale’s genre and how it already relates to the placing in The Canterbury Tales is the content of chapter three. Structure and style of “The Miller’s Tale” can be connected to its preceding tale and will be explained next. Following that, sources and analogs and the tale’s themes will be presented. The context of the tale in The Canterbury Tales is the last important point described in this paper to understand the function of the tale’s characteristics in Chaucer’s tale-collection.
