Wonder and Immanent Justice in the Man of Law's Tale
- Published
- Chaucer Review 33: 264-87, 1999.
- Description
- MLT can be seen as an exposition and justification of the medieval Christian providential view of history. The concern with exemplifying this theory governs the teller's choice of source and emphasis. It is ironic that the Tale's philosophy can be seen to coincide with the "worldly, acquisitive, and legalistic" teller.
