Description
Raybin interrogates challenges to the dramatic approach to CT, concentrating on the personalities of the narrators of NPT and PardT. The Pardoner and Chauntecleer share a number of characteristics and artfully mix sentence and solace. Their voices articulate an aspect of Chaucer and convey a coherent message about the purposes of pilgrimage.
