Daun Piers, Monk and Business Administrator.

Description: Argues that the "key fact" in Chaucer's satiric GP description of the Monk is that he is an "outrider," allowing leeway for suggestive details about diet, hunting, and other worldly concerns. Fabricates a fictional dialogue between the Monk and the GP narrator, based on medieval monastic prohibitions, to show how the details might have been revealed in a way that, ironically, encouraged the narrator to approve of the Monk's opinions.
