Love So Dearly Bought: The Terms of Redemption in 'The Canterbury Tales'
- Published
- Studies in the Age of Chaucer 12 (1990): 85-116.
- Description
- CT examines such religious practices as pilgrimage, pardon, and penance within medieval soteriological traditions, which often analyzed redemption in commercial language. Particularly in GP and PardT, "Chaucer's understanding of the terms of redemption informs his treatment of pilgrimage and penance as the twin frames for his narrative, a framework designed to elicit not scorn but hope."
