Adam, and Chaucer's Words unto Him
- Published
- Chaucer Review 35: 351-77, 2001.
- Description
- Adam is a more complex work than generally thought, evoking Adam the "first father" and "the earthly instrument of chaos and capriciousness." The scribe's "long lokkes" link him to Chaucer's other prideful, foppish characters. The threatened "scabbes" would deface his hair and mirror the act of "rubbing and scraping the manuscript."
