520 3 |a This essay deals with Rome in the Canterbury Tales as both a real and a symbolic place: the contemporary Rome mentioned in the General Prologue, which the Wife of Bath has visited on one of her many pilgrimages and where the Pardoner has obtained his pardons and relics; the imperial Rome as the spiritual and worldly capital of cristendom opposed to hethenesse in the Man of Law's Tale; and the pagan Rome in the Second Nun's Tale, where the conflict between Christianity and paganism is transposed into the city of Rome itself. The opposition between Christian Rome and Muslim Syria will necessitate a closer look at the images of the East or the matter of Araby or hethenesse presented in the Canterbury Tales, that is, in Sir Thopas, in the Squire's Tale, and in the General Prologue. Although the presentation of Rome in the Canterbury Tales is chronologically backward, the return to the Rome of the martyrs in the Second Nun's Tale is not the telos of the Canterbury Tales. The earthly city of Rome as geographical and spiritual site has to be replaced by a more important goal that is outlined in the Prologue to the Parson's Tale: the Heavenly Jerusalem, which is the objective of "thilke parfit glorious pilgrymage”.
