Chaucer's Man of Law and the Argument for Providence

Description
Skilled in the law and both learned and adept in poetry, the Man of Law crafts a tale of sin, free will, and providence. Though Custance is steadfast, her will is free and consequential, the foundation of true judgment. MLT proposes a concept of providence in a mutable world "as the idea of things ordained to an end pre-existing in the divine mind."
