Palmer and "corpus mysticum" in the "Canterbury Tales."

- Studies in Medieval English Language and Literature 32 (2017): 1-15.
- Description
- Points out that a reference to a palmer in GP recalls both the pilgrimage for one's own penance and the vicarious pilgrimage. Argues that the system of pardon and vicarious pilgrimage are burlesqued in PardPT and SumT. Suggests that the idea of "corpus mysticum" also "provides a narrative and thematic framework" of CT.
