This essay considers the ways in which incompleteness–the de facto status of virtually all of
Middle English literature–is both a type of failure and a special characteristic of this
literature. The discussion is framed around the incomplete Cook's Tale from Chaucer's
Canterbury Tales and the Tale of Gamelyn, a romance frequently misattributed to Chaucer
that circulated with the Canterbury Tales, often to fill the gap left by the incomplete Cook's
Tale.
