- Description
- Assesses the Miller in the historical context of clerical responsibilities and the Wycliffite translation of the Bible. MilT is comic, but its narrator is "deadly serious about furthering the cause of lay intellectualism and the Wycliffites' contribution to this"; Chaucer explores this discrepancy between comedy and seriousness.
