- Description
- Examines Derek Pearsall's Variorum Edition of NPT and suggests that the Nun's Priest's "self-conscious literary performance transforms" the tales of CT, which are enhanced by Chaucer's quotations, allusions, and references to his own works. In particular, Chaucer's act of "self-quotation" is highlighted in NPT. Also discusses MLT, WBPT, and MkT.
