Walter W. Skeat's Canterbury Tale
- Published
- Chaucer Review 36: 16-27, 2001.
- Description
- Skeat wrote a "Canterbury tale" in Middle English that admonishes the sin of covetousness, is thoroughly grounded in the Middle Ages, and fits into the scheme of CT. It reveals one of the more "relaxed moments" of this great Chaucer scholar, about whom so few personal records survive.
