Chaucer's "Man of Law's Tale: and "The Handless Maiden."
- Published
- Language Quarterly 17.3-4 (1979): 50-51.
- Description
- Chaucer's version of MLT is more like Trevet's than the folktale version identified as "The Handless Maiden." If Chaucer knew this folktale version, his choice of Trevet's more sophisticated version is another tribute to his art.
