- Chaucer Review 54.2 (2019): 141-61.
- Description
- Contextualizes the barnyard chase scene of NPT alongside late medieval hunting treatises, and questions the juxtaposition between the chase and the medieval noble hunt. The parody of this hunt offers multiple layers of meaning, from criticism of the noble hunt itself to the failure of someone trying to seem noble.
