Despoiling Griselda: Chaucer's Walter and the Problem of Knowledge in 'The Clerk's Tale'
- Published
- Studies in the Age of Chaucer 10 (1988): 41-70.
- Description
- Reexamines ClT "from Walter's point of view"--that is, focusing on Walter as the center of the tale--suggesting that Chaucer, like Petrarch, his source, was concerned as much with epistemology or the quest for knowledge as with Griselda's fidelity.
