Chaucer's Repentance: A Likely Story
- Published
- Chaucer Review 24 (1989): 64-76.
- Description
- The unadorned, unironic ParsT is what Chaucer wanted for the ending to CT. The Ricardian pattern of sickness, pilgrimage, and penitence shows why Thomas Gascoigne's narrative of Chaucer's deathbed retraction of his writings is a likely story, or not as unlikely as it might first appear.
