- Published
- Dissertation Abstracts International 28.09 (1968): 3653A.
- Description
- Describes the aesthetic standards espoused by the pilgrims in CT and argues that the Nun's Priest "fits his tale to his audience even as he tries to alter the views of the audience" and tries to solve for himself the question of free will versus determinism. Considers "aesthetic distance" in light of modern theories of "Kenneth Burke, Edward Bullough, Wayne C. Booth, and others."
