The Possible Unity of Chaucer's Prioress
- Published
- Chaucer Yearbook 3 (1996): 55-71.
- Description
- Examines details of the GP sketch of the Prioress and the sensibility of PrT for the ways they clash, exploring their details in light of medieval convent learning and practice. The Prioress may have learned her courtliness as a devotee of Queen Anne and her attitudes toward Jews and children from such reading as Robert de Boron's "Roman de l'Estoure dou Graal" or the "Meditationes vitae Christi."
