- Jonathan Hall and Ackbar Abbas, ed. Literature and Anthropology (Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press, 1986), pp. 52-95.
- Description
- Reads PardT as evidence of the "darker undercurrents" of Chaucer's worries about his worldly success, especially as reflected in the night-time setting of the tale, its demonic imagery, and the Old Man's associations with avarice, death, and the "plurisignative" meaning of "cheste." In the "Discussion" (pp. 86-95) of Sabine's essay, Martin Aske, Louis Montrose, Darko Suvin, and Maureen Sabine consider the "author function" of PardT.
