Publisher's Synopsis

This study questions the view of Chaucer's knight as a virtuous pillar of the establishment, and concentrates on the historical reality of the mercenary knight on the medieval battlefield, a perspective which calls for a reassessment of 'The Knight's Tale''s interpretation as courtly romance.
