- Published
- Speculum 64 (1989): 600-19.
- Description
- ParsT makes use of a tradition of penitential mediation (cf. ParsP 55 and 69) on the virtues and vices. In the plan of CT, ParsT abandons the emotive fiction and fables of the earlier tales for the solid ground of meditation, transforming an earthly pilgrimage into a spiritual journey.
