Anger and 'Glosynge' in the Canterbury Tales
- Published
- Proceedings of the British Academy 76 (1990): 203-23.
- Description
- Anger and glossing--linked by their common "refusal to accommodate the self either to events in the world outside, or to the autonomous meaning of the text"--are evident in SumT and throughout CT. The Marriage Group centers around patience, the counter to anger, and therefore includes FrT and SumT. ManT suggests that the "alternative to 'glosynge' . . . is silence," but it is balanced by the comic celebration" of NPT.
