- 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.
