- Chaucer Review 50.1-2 (2015): 1–29.
- Description
- Proposes connections between the CT--especially Chaucer's Plowman, the apocryphal Plowman's Tale, and RvT--and ideas about food supply. Provides an overarching argument that anxieties about farming and the politics of how food was distributed in late fourteenth-century England tie together many of the tales and pilgrims' words.
