The 'Physician's Tale': The Doctor of Physic's Diplomatic 'Cure'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 19 (1984): 24-38.
- Description
- The Host's aversion to this tale is a clue to its interpretations: the narrator, a typical medieval physician, reveals himself and his profession through his narration. The death of Virginia is emblematic of the Physician's lack of concern for his patient's death.
