Injustice and Chaucer's Man of Law
- Published
- Parergon, n.s., 20: 1-18. , 2003.
- Description
- Chancery highlighted problems posed in the medieval common law courts by failures in jurisprudence. MLT raises questions about injustice that reflect critically on the Sergeant of Law. Though he is shown to be an expert in jurisprudence, he is satirized by language--specifically the word "termes," used elsewhere in Chaucer to suggest technical or deceptive language.
