- Description
- Comments on English and Continental versions of medieval fox-and-cock narratives, including the claim that the "real value" of NPT "lies in [Chauntecleer's] windy philosophical monologue"; "Russell's subsequent appearance and his making off with Chauntecleer, and the cock's escape, tend to produce an almost anti-climactic effect."
