Substance, Accident, and Transformations: A Reading of the 'Pardoner's Tale'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 17 (1982): 142-58.
- Description
- Readers frequently imagine the Pardoner to be a real person. He is, of course, Chaucer's fiction, and the poet shows his mastery of narrative by combining the "Prologue" and the "Tale," underscoring the unity of the two by iterative imagery, especially of transformations, eating and drinking,and decomposition.
