- Published

- Argues that, in KnT, Chaucer does not resolve the disjunction between Aristotelian natural philosophy and Christian theology that is found in medieval university discourse; instead, he amplifies the tension to allow the "freeplay of interpretation." Focuses on Arcite's death and Theseus' final speech.
