Description
Examines GP sketches of the Wife of Bath, the Miller, and the Franklin to exemplify how Chaucer's arrangements of details can best be understood relationally.
We perceive the "dispositions" of the characters as functions of the interplay among the "ends" to which the details of the sketches refer.
