- Description
- Collette reads the end of CT against Philippe de Mézières' "Songe du vieil pelerin," indicating Chaucer's connections with contemporary Anglo-French literature and exploring the relations between politics and morality in four Tales: alchemy as a trope in SNT and CYT; speech in ManT; and critique of aristocratic excess in ParsT.
