The Parson's quotation from St. John Chrysostom (10.109-10) is translated from St. Raymund of Pennaforte's "Summa Casuum Poenitentiae." Its ultimate source, however, is a Latin homily (not in the modern editions of the fathers), the "Sermo de…

Chaucer Review 1.3 (1967): 161-66.
Supports a reading of "complyn" (variant "coupling") at RvT 1.4171, identifying parodic echoes of the prayer from the Holy Office in the language and action of the end of the Tale. The parody "brightens" the comic irony and morality of the Tale.

Identifies influences of St. Jerome's "Epistola Adversus Jovinianum" 2 at the end of FrT, particularly the imagery of lion as hunter equated with Satan and juxtaposed with Biblical allusions.

Uses "mostly . . . a phenomenological approach" to explore "how objects in Medieval English Literature disrupt individual linear time." Addresses various texts and, in a chapter on TC, argues that "Criseyde is representative of Freudian melancholia"…

Western Humanities Review 23 (1969): 107-20.
Describes Chaucer's depictions of Criseyde and the Wife of Bath as "marred" by unconscious "psychic blinders" of his male-dominated age, each lacking a "life all her own." Alison is one of Chaucer's "great comic actors," but not psychically a woman,…

American Imago 27 (1970): 52-65.
Argues in Freudian terms that dreams in TC disclose psychological aspects of the characters. Criseyde's dream (II, 925-31), added by Chaucer to his source, Boccaccio's "Filostrato," indicates her desire for ravishment and marks her early submission…

Visible Language 12 (1978): 406-27.
Variations in spelling of words for "yes" and "no" are systemic in the literate language of Chaucer in that they distinguish the meanings of "no" and "nay," "yes" and "yea." As such, they are manifestations of visible language. Variant spellings of…
