'A Woman True and Fair': Chaucer's Portrayal of Dorigen in the 'Franklin's Tale'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 19 (1984): 169-78.
- Description
- Most critical opinion has followed Kittredge's 1912 evaluation of FranT as Chaucer's treatment of ideal marriage. FranT is actually about what it is like to be married, and its center is Dorigen, Chaucer's unique portrayal of a genuinely good, loving, and lovable woman.
