Description
Identifies a series of "parallels in plot and language" between Charles Dickens's "The Cricket on the Hearth" and MerT, arguing for Chaucer’s influence on "Cricket," on the Strong subplot of "David Copperfield," and on Dickens’s "Chaucerian aesthetic that mixes pathos, comedy, and social observation."
