Ethan Campbell argues that a central feature of the Gawain-poet''s Middle English works'' moral rhetoric is anticlerical critique. Written in an era when clerical corruption was a key concern forpolemicists such as Richard FitzRalph and John Wyclif, as well as satirical poetssuch as John Gower, William Langland, and Geoffrey Chaucer, the Gawain poems feature an explicit attackon hypocritical priests in the opening lines of Cleanness as well as more subtle critiques embedded withindepictions of flawed priest-like characters.
