- Description
- Medieval manuals of preaching demand that the good preacher be a good man, yet the Pardoner's sermon is very effective. CT is an investigation of the possibility of reaching some compromise between the preaching methods of the evil, but eloquent, Pardoner and the virtuous, but less effective, Parson.
