Storytelling, Exchange, and Constancy : East and West in Chaucer's Man of Law's Tale
- Published
- Chaucer Review 33: 409-22, 1999.
- Description
- Chaucer uses East and West to signify differences in storytelling in MLT: chivalric vs. travel romance; hagiography vs. history; linear narrative vs. apostrophe and prayer. Chaucer leads his readers to see the Tale as "trapped in Western chauvinism," which continuously campaigns against the "Other."
