- Description
- Reappraises FrT and SumT and acknowledges the professional and personal animosity at the root of the tellers’ relationship to each other. Argues for a wider sense of that relationship between the tales and their tellers, contending that this animosity "binds them closely to the economic concerns" of CT and, "more crucially, its social and linguistic ones."
