Animal Imagery and the Pardoner's "Abnormality."
- Published
- Neophilologus 48 (1964): 56-60.
- Description
- Adduces "popular lore" to show that Chaucer's references to a hare and a goat in the GP description of the Pardoner (1.684 and 688)—corroborated by other details from the actions and descriptions of the Pardoner—characterize him as a "testicular hermaphrodite of the feminine type."
