Chaucer's Narrative Voice in the Knight's Tale

by Ebbe Klitgard

Explores Chaucer's narrative voice in 'The Knight's Tale' in relation to his own works, his direct sources and his historical context. It shows how the narration operates on the basis of contrasting styles of rhetoric, in tension between high style and involvement, and humour, realism and distance.
