Must Have Read the General Prologue of the Canterbury Tales. I will also ask for a preview to see what you know about the subject before choosing a writer.

Topic: When, in the General Prologue of the Canterbury Tales, the Host announces the tale-telling contest that launches the pilgrims’ following tales, he says the criteria for judging the best tale will be “best sentence and most solas.” Define how the General Prologue itself reflects and satisfies those criteria. You will need to explain at the outset what those criteria mean.
