Hony soit qui mal y pense: Adultery and Anxieties about Paternity in Late Medieval England

No one working today in Middle English studies or in period-related film and/or documentary can proceed untouched by Terry Jones' thought-provoking views. Through films such as <i>Monty Python and the Holy Grail</i>, educational television series for BBC and the History Channel, and books such as <i>Chaucer's Knight</i> and <i>Who Murdered Chaucer?</i>, Jones has applied his unique combination of carefully researched scholarship, keen intelligence, fearless skepticism of establishment thinking, and broad good humor to challenge, enlighten, and reform. <i>The Medieval Python: The Purposive and Provocative Work of Terry Jones</i> collects original essays by prominent and diverse medievalists in literature and history to celebrate the work of a dedicated independent scholar whose criticism has redirected how we understand the world of Chaucer and life in the Middle Ages.
