Dante, Alain de Lille, and the Ending of the 'Canterbury Tales'
- Published
- Dissertation Abstracts International 59 (1998): 817A.
- Description
- Entry into heaven and the approach to God properly conclude a pilgrimage, as represented by Dante and Alain de Lille. In ManPT, Chaucer inverts the topos to show logic and language vitiated (not transcended) as the Cook becomes literally drunk (not spiritually inebriated), and "the Host rededicates the pilgrimage to Bacchus."
