Polonius among the Pilgrims
- Published
- Chaucer Review 7.2 (1972): 140-46.
- Description
- Reads ManT as an example of successful "characterization through narrative technique," assessing its paucity of actual storytelling relative to the amount of moralizing. This tedious moralizing is comic and results from Chaucer's adaptations of his sources. However, it does not accord with the characterization in ManP nor in GP.
