- Description
- Observes that in sixteenth-century editions of CT, ManT follows NPT, and that after c. 1550 the pair is followed by the story of the Pelican and Griffin from the apocryphal "Plowman’s Tale," then the references to fables in ParsP, providing a "powerful model" for the linking of three animal fables in Spenser's "Complaints." Focuses particularly on "Prosopopoia, or Mother Hubberds Tale," exploring Chaucer's and Spenser'7s presentations of the poet as satirist and mimic.
