'Ther Nis Namoore to Seye': Closure in the 'Knight's Tale'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 22 (1987): 1-7.
- Description
- KnT's structure is paratactic, and the end is repeatedly called for but not brought into being. As a result, the ending is merely a ceasing of action, not closure, which would satisfy our need for aesthetic and philosophical completeness.
