Published
Revista Chilena de Literatura 7 (1976): 5-26.

Description
Explores the vibrant language of CT (and the difficulties of translation), its relations with oral tradition, and the constraints and possibilities of traditional medieval narrative set in tension with a competitive tale-telling contest among diverse tellers. Compares CT with a variety of other medieval literary works and maintains consistent focus on the pilgrimage motif.
