Biblical Interpretation: St. Paul and 'The Canterbury Tales'
- Published
- David Lyle Jeffrey, ed. Chaucer and Scriptural Tradition (Ottawa: University of Ottawa Press, 1984), pp. 143-70.
- Description
- A reworking of the author's "Saint Paul and the 'Canterbury Tales'" (Mediaevalia 07 (1981): 91-131). Saint Paul is invoked in NPT to justify use of fables; in ParsT, to reject them. Chaucer's own attitude is the Nun's Priest's. Pauline ideas inform much of CT: proper use of time, fruit-chaff metaphor, etc., in ShT, MLT, KnT, NPT, Mel, ParsP, ParsT, FrT, WBP, WBT, SumT, ClT, PardT, MLE, Th, PrT, ManT, and Ret.
