The Probable Date and Purpose of Chaucer's 'Knight's Tale'
- Published
- Studies in Philology 84 (1987): 418-39.
- Description
- Given historical events in the age of King Richard II, details of the Knight's portrait in GP would have been irrelevant before 1393 or after 1396. Chaucer may have inserted the Knight's description into GP, altered other details in GP, planned tales elaborating the themes of KnT, and altered the plan of CT.
