- Description
- Argues from evidence in KnT and GP that Chaucer presents not an idealized figure but a complex, realistic character. Valentine treats the narrative and rhetorical features of KnT and its relations with Boccaccio's "Teseida" as evidence of the Knight's character; she argues that the GP information must have been learned by the narrator from the Knight himself.
