- Description
- Discusses iconography and pilgrimage, and Chaucer's investments in and depiction of the "power of images" through tales of CT, including GP, PrT, and PardT. Argues that "Chaucer demonstrates that devotional images . . . are inherently polymorphous and regenerative, as essential to cultic religion as to poetry in stimulating the power of imagination and memorial recollection."
