Reflections of the Book of Job and Gregory's Moralia in Chaucer's 'Monk's Tale
- Published
- Florilegium 21 (2004): 83-93.
- Description
- Despairing in his sin, the Monk ignores the providential aspect of the story of Job, and so his tragedies emphasize only death. He particularly ignores the conventionally exegetical readings of Adam and Sampson as examples of Providence.
