Privacy and the Boundaries of Fabliau in the 'Miller's Tale'
- Published
- ELH 56 (1989): 773-95.
- Description
- MilT serves as a corrective to KnT (where chaos in effect breaks down order) by exceeding the typical symmetry of the fabliau (a genre in which order properly has no part). Departing from the "pryvete" set up in its many senses, MilT develops and climaxes as order opens up its secrets.
