Description An account of the resource Identifies the "contrast between surface respectability and corrupt motive [as] the keenest source of the comedy" in ShT, and suggests that there is a pun on "cozen" and "cousin." Explores similar contrasts and other devices in CT that produce comic irony rather instead of moral assertion: suggestive imagery and juxtaposition, the "simplicity" of the CT narrator, "double exposure, first of the pilgrim, then indirectly of the futility of overt moral stricture," and self-exposing conflicts between sets of pilgrims.

Further, in PrT, her "own words . . . convict her of bigotry" and oppose the "authentic mind of the Church."

Observes "commonplace devices" of preaching in these (and other) tales, emphasizing how their speakers use them to their own purposes. Suggests MerT was designed to be told by a cleric.

Includes comparison and contrast of Chaucer's depictions of monks and friars with those of Wycliff and Langland, finding him, generally, to be less strident in his criticism.
