Perverse Pastoralism And Medieval Melancholia In Powell And Pressburger'S A Canterbury Tale

Abstract

A Canterbury Tale, a 1944 'why we fight' film, mixes a pastoral celebration of England's history with a perverse plot concerning the peculiar Glue Man. The protagonists solve this mystery during their Canterbury pilgrimage and, in so doing, realize that England's glories depend upon accepting, not defeating, perversion.
