- Description
- Through its "metafictional dialogue" between the teller and pilgrim narrator; its "inter-illumination" of genres, including anticlerical satire, oath making, and fabliau; and its depiction of a "carnival hell," FrT parodies and thus undermines the authority of the sermon exemplum as a genre.
