- Description
- Argues that RvT reworks its fabliau sources alongside then-contemporary texts about manorial control and operation such as "Walter of Henley," and traces this depiction of an "affective economy." Analysis helps to foreground how the Reeve's manorial background can help illuminate the affective workings of his tale.
