The Miller's Tale and Decameron 3.4
- Published
- Journal of English and Germanic Philology 108 (2009): 59-80.
- Description
- Biggs argues that Decameron 3.4 is a source for MilT, inspiring the latter's density of detail, its religious sentiment, and many of its narrative features, particularly the Flood story. MilP also echoes Boccaccio's "Conclusione dell'autore" and its concern with religious rather than rational judgment.
