- Description
- Maintains that the PhyT was "specifically adapted especially to the Physician as teller," arguing that the opening of the Tale and its rhetoric reflect the arts training common to late-medieval physicians, that various details reflect the teller's "professional interest in medicine," and that these details are found in portions of the Tale original to Chaucer.
