Chaucer's Pardoner and the Mass
- Published
- Chaucer Review 6.3 (1972): 171-84.
- Description
- Examines the "distorted reflection or negative image" of the Christian mass in PardPT and in the GP description of the Pardoner, showing how the language, imagery, and details of the liturgy of the mass run throughout the Pardoner's materials, perverting traditional interpretations of the mass, Eucharistic sacrifice, and the crucifixion. Draws traditional material from Amalarius, William Durandus, and Pope Innocent III.
