- Description
- Although written for the same fourteenth-century courtly audience/readership, KnT and MilT are two very different types of narrative. One of the features of Chaucer's Gothic aesthetic was to shift between high and low styles. These two Tales represent extreme limits of his verse, and there are variations of style and attitude even within the Tales.
