- Modern Philology 58 (1961): 231-37.
- Description
- Claims that CYT "depends on the metaphor of alchemy for both characterization and structure," discussing the Canon's Yeoman as a "fearful, naive, but by no means static" character and exploring the use of vocabulary of literary romance in his materials in combination with varying attitudes to alchemy to produce a "complex sense of the whole personality."
