Chaucer and the Silence of History: Situating the Canon's Yeoman's Tale
- Published
- PMLA 102 (1987): 338-50.
- Description
- The disjuncture between the confessional (yet not moral) part 1 and the fabliau-like part 2 of CYT derives in part from the essential split between the futile effort toward production in part 1 and the nonproductive but successful cheating of part 2. Chaucer deals here with emergent nonproductive capital.
