Chaucer's Canterbury Pilgrimage
- Published
- Essays in Criticism 36 (1986): 97-119.
- Description
- ManP reveals Chaucer's art at its most assured. The Host, Manciple, and Cook are united by their role in London's catering trade, and their exchange in the passage shows the Manciple as a blend of malice and circumspection, the Cook as a carnival figure of Rabelaisian proportions, and the Host as larger than life, the dominant figure on the pilgrimage.
