- Description
- Examines conflicts between secular and religious notions of masculinity in the Monk's description in GP and in MkPT, showing that they depict the Monk's "inability to abide by the expected behaviours of his vocation" and expose him to ridicule by the Host and other pilgrims in ShT, PrT, Th, and NPPT.
