- Published

- Description
- Higgins explores the "incidental affiliations" between CT and "The Flyting of Dunbar and Kennedy," demonstrating how flyting tradition informs CT, especially Part 1 and the debate between the Wife of Bath and the Clerk. The tale-telling contest is related both to flyting and to the debate tradition of "Wynnere and Wastoure."
