Chaucer's Crusading Knight, a Slanted Ideal.
- Published
- Chaucer Review 3.2 (1968): 77-87.
- Description
- Argues that the GP description of "Chaucer's perfect Knight . . . seems carefully constructed to accord with the aims" of a "unified crusade" that was articulated by Philip de Mézières in his proposal to organize an Order of the Passion of Jesus Christ. Also uses Geoffrey de Charny to clarify the nuances of "worthy" as it recurs in the Knight's description.
