Chaucer's Anti-clericalism as Seen in the Monk

The Fleur-de-Lis Review (December 25, 1980): 25-54.

Description
Chaucer's Monk is by no means an ideal clergyman. He is one of the best targets of Chaucer's satire. He shows the degenerating status of the Church and the religious orders, to remind the readers of the need of renovation from within.
