The Pardoner and the Host: Chaucer's Analysis of the Canterbury Game
- Published
- CEA Critic 46 (1983-84): 37-45.
- Description
- The Pardoner's motivation is understandable if we hear his prologue and tale through the ears of Harry Bailly; the Pardoner's performance is not merely one more ad hominem attack by one of the pilgrims but a questioning of the story-telling rules established by the Host.
