Description
Identifies a number of points of comparison between Juan Ruiz's "El Libro" and CT: wide range of genres, ecclesiastical satire, comparable characters (e.g., the Prioress and Doña Garoa; the Wife of Bath and Trotaconventos), narrators' self-deprecation, comedy and bawdy, and "outlook on the world."
