Justice in the 'Physician's Tale' and the 'Pardoner's Tale': A Dialogic Contrast
- Published
- Chaucer Yearbook 4 (1997): 21-32.
- Description
- A Bakhtinian approach to the juxtaposition of PhyT and PardT. In its aloof style and its paralleling of Apius and Virginius, PhyT is marked by a "tendency to monologue." PardT is dialogic in its comic replacement of justice with mercy.
