Chaucer's 'Tale of Melibee': 'A lytel thyng in prose'
- Published
- Genre 21 (1988): 263-78.
- Description
- Unlike other recent critics, who have viewed Mel as a "treatise," Kempton sees it as a "tale" with dramatic personages. It is meant not to enforce one didactic point but to teach us to give up the search for authority and to enjoy the play of pilgrim voices.
