Authority and Interpretation in Chaucer's 'Tale of Melibee'
- Published
- Dissertation Abstracts International 53 (1992): 492A-93A.
- Description
- Although critics have generally seen Mel as a simple allegory in fairly close translation, the Tale departs from Renaud in significant ways to question the nature of authority (good advice can be wrong; authorities can disagree; motivations can subvert). Mel is integral to CT, not anomalous.
