Chaucer's 'Nun's Priest's Tale,' VII.3218
- Published
- Names 37 (1989): 69-73.
- Description
- The statement that the fox "thurghout the hegges brast" into the barnyard, which does not accord with the earlier description of the yard as surrounded by a fence and a dry ditch, is perhaps best accounted for as a narrational paraphrase of the name of one of Renart's sons in "Le Roman de Renart" and so offers evidence that the latter is one source of NPT.
