- Description
- Edition of KnT, originally published in 1966, based on F. N. Robinson's 2d edition (1957), with a new Introduction (pp. 1-111), "reconsidered" notes, and a corrected glossary, both included at the end of the volume, much as in the 1966 original. The Introduction considers the Tale's relations with Boccaccio's "Teseida" and Boethius's "Consolation of Philosophy"; its composition and placement in CT, its characterizations, descriptions, and narrative techniques; and its thematic concerns as "chivalric" romance, "philosophical romance," and "pagan history."
