- Published
- Exemplaria 4 (1992): 387-409.
- Description
- Etymological puns reveal MkT, NPT, and SNT to be a trilogy concerned with the common themes of marriage, sexuality, and decline of the church. The tales dramatize a confrontation among the three pilgrims in which the Priest discloses the Monk's hypocrisy, and the Nun outdoes both the Monk and the Priest.
