- Description
- Examines how Chaucer and Gower handled the genre of "estates satire," and speculates how "their social critique moves away from an estates satire framework." Addresses mercantile practice in MerT, MLT, and WBT, and claims that Chaucer, like Gower, "is able to include substantial critique of economic practices in the actions" of characters in CT.
