How Nasty Is Phoebus's Crow?

Published
Chaucer Review 21 (1987): 444-58.

Description
In ManT, Chaucer gives us no information about the crow's personality, motives, or style. He and the Manciple have paradigmatic significance as users of speech and tellers. However, the poet does focus on the narratorial personality of the Manciple, who is made to offer an unhappy image of Chaucer himself.
