Seeing Red: The Ellesmere Iconography of Chaucer's Nun's Priest.
- Published
- Word & Image 26.4 (2010): 381–92.
- Description
- Shows that the Nun's Priest is often illustrated in manuscripts and books, even though he is not described in the GP, arguing that the illustrations are informed by the Host's comments on the Priest and by the description of the protagonist of NPT, the "red-topped rooster," Chauntecleer. Surveys illustrations in extant manuscripts of CT, and examines portraits of the Nun's Priest in visual history. Includes 10 color illus.
