- Description
- Explores the "unexpected points of contact between" Brian Helgeland's "A Knight's Tale" and Chaucer's poetry, discussing ways that the film and KnT focus on tilting arenas and order, their affinities with pastiche, their concern with the power of the poet, and their "enlisting" of audience "complicity."
