Chaucer's Knight and the Mediterranean
- Published
- Library of Mediterranean History 1 (1994): 127-60.
- Description
- The discrepancies in the Knight's military curriculum reflect Chaucer's attempt to represent a desire for peace at home and for the transfer of destructive military activity to distant frontiers in Prussia and the Mediterranean. Luttrell explores the history of English knights (their various missions, their modes of fighting, and their motivation) to explain ambiguities of the Knight and Chaucer's attitude toward the Mediterranean.
