Chaucer's Daun Piers: One Monk or Two?

Published
Criticism 6 (1964): 44-52.

Description
Maintains that the characterizations of the Monk in GP and in MkPT are consistent, and attributes their differing tones to the Monk's decision to "change his image" in the eyes of his fellow pilgrims while requiting the Host's derision with the boredom of a dull, redundant "sermon."
