The Escape of Chaucer's Chauntecleer: A Brief Revaluation
- Published
- ChauR 36 : 329-35, 2002.
- Description
- Chaucer treats NPT in his characteristically ambiguous manner--transcending his sources, denying, or transfiguring them. The Nun's Priest loses control of his argument, but the poet does not. In reducing the Fall of Man to a literal episode, Chaucer plays a joke on his readers.
- Chaucer Subjects
- Nun's Priest and His Tale.
