Title
Hoccleve’s Tale: "La male regle" and the "Canterbury Tales."

Published
Bulletin of the Society for Chaucer Studies 7 (2019): 3-12.

Description
Points out thematic parallels between Hoccleve's "Male regle" and PardT, such as "riot and repentance" and "misreading" of "the material and the spiritual," and argues that Hoccleve succeeds in taking in Chaucerian literary resources to make his original literary achievement with unique autobiographical inclination.
