Chaucer's Pardoner Again
- Published
- Leeds Studies in English 4 (1970): 11-22.
- Description
- Gauges the Pardoner's attitude toward his Canterbury audience, including the Host. In PardP, he reveals how he usually treats his audiences, then insults the pilgrims by leveling differences in PardT. Like Faus Semblant of the "Roman de la Rose," the Pardoner is a hypocrite, but his techniques effectively capture the pilgrims and the reading audience in moral ironies.
