This study by former "Monty Python" member Terry Jones, now reissued with a new foreword, questions the accepted view of Chaucer's knight as a conventional and virtuous pillar of the establishment, and concentrates on the historical reality of the mercenary knight common on the battlefields of Chaucer's day, a perspective which calls for a reassessment of "The Knight's Tale"'s usual interpretation as courtly romance.

Seller's Description:
Used-Good in Good jacket. There is a protective nylar cover over the main cover of the book. This book has been gently used. There is what seems to be a square-shaped mark on the bottom of the inside front cover that feels like a thin layer of card board. There are several black & white illustrations throughout the book. This book would make a great gift for anyone who loves to read or write about medieval knights, as well as that era of history!
