Translations of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales raise timely questions for World Literature and the discipline of Comparative Literature. Chaucer exemplifies tensions at the heart of literary study under globalization: local particularities are highly valued in a global marketplace even as global circulation demands universal appeal. This afterword explores this tension by assessing Chaucer's place in World Literature anthologies alongside references to the World Literature canon in this cluster of essays about The Canterbury Tales . The conclusion proposes Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's concept of globalectics as a path forward for medieval literature within Comparative Literature
