The Evil Outsider in Chaucer's Man of Law's Tale
- Published
- BAM 62: 1-9, 2002.
- Description
- MLT is animated by ambivalence toward and ignorance of Islam. Chaucer's adaptation of Trevet's "Cronicles" shifts emphasis and perspective. Whereas the source never mentions Mohammed or the Koran and considers Muslims to be idol-worshippers, MLT mentions them respectfully.
