Humor in the "Knight's Tale."
- Published
- Chaucer Review 3.2 (1968): 88-94.
- Description
- Examines several bawdy puns, "incongruous situations," and other humorous ironies in KnT, suggesting that they are unintended by the Knight yet consistent with Chaucer's depiction of him as "a romantic, caught by reality but aspiring to the ideal" that is embodied in rituals, forms, and high style.
