- Description
- Explores relations between Franklin--the tale-telling character of "Arden of Faversham"--and Chaucer’s Franklin as narrator of FranT, concentrating on scenes in the play attributed to Shakespeare, and focusing on the "subject matter and literary artfulness" as well as the unreliability of the two fictional tale-tellers. Also considers Chaucer's more general "association with domestic tragedy" in early modern reception.
