Title
Telling Stories about Constance: Framing and Narrative Strategy in the 'Canterbury Tales'

Published
Chaucer Review 27 (1992): 45-64.

Description
The individual tales in CT contain multiple voices and the same narrative strategies as the frame itself--i.e., the central narrative interrupted by intervening narratives "read as both a narrating act and a narracted event that compels the overarching narrative to completion." MLT is a case in point.

Chaucer Subjects
Man of Law and His Tale.
