- Published
- University of Toronto Quarterly 22, no. 2 (1953): 147–56.
- Description
- Argues that ManPT combines with ParsPT and Ret to make a thematic grouping in CT, arguing that the fundamental theme of ManT is avoiding "jangling" or "loose speaking," including "frivolous story-telling." Also considers the dating of ManT and the potential for irony in the narrative.
