Chaucer's Knight as 'Persona': Narration as Control
- Published
- English Miscellany 20 (1969): 11-21.
- Description
- Reads KnT as an expression of the narrator's pessimistic yet stoic view of human "travails and uncertainties," evident in the prevailing "sense of the insignificance of the major actions" of the plot, and reinforced by grim humor and by the tension between rising and falling action and the rhetorical device of occupatio.
