- Published
- Mississippi Quarterly 12 (1959): 75-85.
- Description
- Describes how, as protagonist of NPT, Chauntecleer is the "mock-hero" of Chaucer's burlesque, engaging in three "battles" and failing because of his own vanity, the target of Chaucer's satire. His "avisioun" was no vision at all, a result of disordered bodily humours.
