The Self-Revealing Tendencies of Chaucer's Pardoner
- Published
- Modern Language Review 71 (1976): 241-55.
- Description
- Modern psychological exploration of individual consciousness is not applicable to medieval literature which, as in "Cliges" and the "Romaunt of the Rose," assumes unity between action and intention. Hence the issue of the closing of PardT is not, "pace" Kittredge, one of psychological credibility but of moral justice.
