- Description
- Contrary to Donald Howard, who found in SNT the church's "highest ideal" of marriage and Chaucer's final answer to the Marriage Group, the tale actually denies the basis of true wedlock as subordinating the wife's personal concern for her husband to selfless dedication to spiritual "bisyness."
