Chaucer and Dickens Use Luke 23.34
- Published
- Chaucer Review 41(2006): 99-104.
- Description
- Given his interest in Chaucer and his ownership of a copy of TC, Dickens's "comic literary use of the motif of 'Christ-forgives-his-killers'" may be an echo of Chaucer's use of the motif, which is based on Luke 23.34, in TC 3.1577.
