"The Prioress's Tale" is one of ''The Canterbury Tales'' by Geoffrey Chaucer. It follows " The Shipman's Tale" in ''The Canterbury Tales''. It is followed by Chaucer's "Tale of Sir Topas". The General Prologue names the prioress as Madame Eglantine, and describes her impeccable table manners and soft-hearted ways. Her portrait suggests she is likely in religious life as a means of social advancement, given her aristocratic manners and mispronounced French. She maintains a secular lifestyle, including keeping lap dogs that she privileges over people, a fancy rosary and a brooch inscribed with ('Love Conquers All'). Her story is of a child martyr killed by Jews, a common theme in Medieval Christianity, and much later criticism focuses on the tale's antisemitism.

Euryanthe
''Euryanthe'' ( J. 291, Op. 81) is a German grand heroic-romantic opera by Carl Maria von Weber, first performed at the Theater am Kärntnertor in Vienna on 25 October 1823.Brown, p. 88 Though acknowledged as one of Weber's most important operas, the work is rarely staged because of the weak libretto by Helmina von Chézy (who, incidentally, was also the author of the failed play ''Rosamunde'', for which Franz Schubert wrote music). ''Euryanthe'' is based on the 13th-century French romance ''L'Histoire du très-noble et chevalereux prince Gérard, comte de Nevers et la très-virtueuse et très chaste princesse Euriant de Savoye, sa mye''. Only the overture, an outstanding example of the early German Romantic style (heralding Richard Wagner), is regularly played today. Like Schubert's lesser-known ''Alfonso und Estrella'', of the same time and place (Vienna, 1822), ''Euryanthe'' parts with the German Singspiel tradition, adopting a musical approach without the interruption of spo ...
