On the Wife of Bath's 'Embarrassing Question'

Published
American Notes and Queries 17 (1978): 54-55.

Description
Fisher's reading "wight" (1977) in WBT 117 is preferable to Donaldson's "wrighte." FranT 867-72 contains phrasing which is reminiscent of Fisher's proposed meaning of WBT 117: "And created by so wise a Being."

Chaucer Subjects
Wife of Bath and Her Tale.
