- Description
- Assesses the paucity of names given to the pilgrims in CT and comments on those that are given; Eglyntine, John (Nun's Priest), Piers (Monk), Harry Bailly (and his wife Goodelief), Huberd, Hodge, Robin, Oswald, Alisoun, and Chaucer himself, who is named in the rubrics, While the fictional names are "suitable," Chaucer was evidently "not particularly concerned about giving names to the pilgrims."
