'Securitas' and Chaucer's Knight
- Published
- Studies in the Age of Chaucer 9 (1987): 123-53.
- Description
- "Securitas" as defined by William of Conches, Phillip of Bergamo, William Peraldus, and others explains both the Knight's response to other pilgrims in the narrative frame of CT and his relation to Theseus in KnT. Both the Knight and Theseus attempt to provide order through a rhetoric leading to community ritual; both have a limited moral perspective later subsumed into the observance of pilgrimage as penitence (ParsT).
