The Ram Revisited: A Canterbury Conundrum
- Published
- Chaucer Review 28 (1994): 330-43.
- Description
- Reviews critical opinion about the date on which the pilgrims started for Canterbury and concludes that it was Easter Saturday, 18 April 1394. The term "Ram" refers both to the constellation Aries (thus confirming the date) and to the sign Aries, balancing the Libra sign at the pilgrimage's end "in order to encompass both man's and mankind's lifetime."
