- Published
- Studies in Medieval Culture 4 (1974): 452-58.
- Description
- The Squire's concupiscence and selfishness contrast with the Knight's love of chivalric virtues. Through the Squire and his tale Chaucer may be suggesting that the knights of Richard II's court return to the values represented by his own perfect knight.
