    Among his other achievements, Terry Jones was author of a scholarly book, Chaucer's Knight, which I'm told is well-regarded in the field.https://twitter.com/UniofOxford/status/1219991306803597313 …

    We’re very proud to call Terry Jones an alumnus of Oxford and enormously saddened by his passing. Our thoughts are with his family. https://twitter.com/bodleianlibs/status/1048136838257496065 …

        I was gobsmacked when my English grad school girlfriend at the time was reading that book for research.

        it's good. Makes a strong case that "gentil, parfit" is sarcasm and a contemporary audience would have understood the Knight to have been a scuzzy mercenary who had been involved in a load of defeats and atrocities.

        Replying to @dsquareddigest @HeerJeet

        I mean, the text itself makes the case. He’s rusty, after all, and his story about the king rummaging a battlefield for armor and weapons? Right after we are hearing how wealthy he is? Yeah...

        A friend mentioned years ago that she'd encountered him at Chaucer gatherings (Conventions? Symposiums?) and that he was very nice and genuine and excited about Chaucer.

        part of the fun of holy grail is that it's obviously written by medievalists who took great care in everything.

        Oh yes, the movie that portrays the Medieval English as burning witches is totally accurate.

        Terry's son, Bill Jones, made a documentary on Python and George Harrison that was shown in L.A. at The (Other) HandMade's Tale Festival last October; marking the 50th anniversary of Monty Python & the 40th of "Life of Brian" (George's cameo below)... https://newmusictoday.blogspot.com/2019/10/fans-and-friends-of-george-harrison.html …pic.twitter.com/LSzRaOVUO8
