Although the &quot;Plowman&#039;s Tale&quot; was consistently in the hands of Chaucer&#039;s printers, his association with the &quot;Pilgrim&#039;s Tale&quot; is a &quot;bibliographical fantasy.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

In ClT, for example, Griselda &quot;warns&quot; the tyrannical Walter that she will reveal his secrets to the Bolognese aristocracy and thereby compels her husband to treat her in a new way, even though much of the warning is couched in wordplay.]]></dcterms:description>

Connects these ideas with how Chaucer also challenged papal authority and satirized papal bulls in such works as ClT by connecting authority to &quot;nefarious agendas.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
