Sense and Sensibility in the 'Prioress's Tale'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 15 (1981): 138-50.
- Description
- The Prioress' preoccupation with emotion and the diminutive reflects the 14th century's concern for a particularized and emotional style in the arts. Though her tale seems odd and inconsistent, it has a consistent sensibility which uses the particular to produce not types but emotional responses.
