- Description
- Asserting the impossibility of a neutral approach and citing her Jewish ancestry, Paley considers PrT in its historical context.
- Chaucer's uncharacteristic omission of a tale to balance the Prioress's--i.e., his omission of a Jewish tale--is a disservice to the reader.
- Chaucer Subjects
- Prioress and Her Tale.
