Published

Description
In contrast to the uniformity specified in LGWP, the legends themselves, when examined in light of the nominalist principle of particularized language, reveal widely differing heroines, not indistinguishable victims. ShT functions as pattern; CYT as recapitulation.

Chaucer Subjects
Legend of Good Women.
Shipman and His Tale.
Canon's Yeoman and His Tale.
