Murder and Immortality in Fragment VI (C) of the 'Canterbury Tales': Chaucer's Transformation of Theme and Image from the 'Roman de la Rose'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 29 (1994): 1-25.
- Description
- Although PhyT and PardT may seem to bear little relationship to each other, a thematic unity rooted in the "Roman de la Rose" links the two tales. Raison's exemplum contains ideas and images of sexual violence and natural generation that Chaucer seems to have borrowed and opposed in his pilgrims' "Tales."
