- Description
- Emphasizes Chaucer's biographical connections to Kent to support the claim that a "visual source" for the narrative framework of CT exists in pictorial representations of the miracles of Thomas Becket on stained glass in Trinity Chapel at Canterbury Cathedral. Like CT, the stained-glass images evoke a progression from "secular comfort to spiritual healing" involving diverse social representatives. Contextualizes this nonliterary source relationship of ekphrasis in BD and HF, as well as the later testimony of the Canterbury Interlude preceding "The Tale of Beryn."
