Title
Chaucer's "Fowle Ok" and "The Pardoner's Tale."

Published
Modern Language Notes. 71.5 (1956): 321-22.

Description
Suggests that the portentous oak of PardT 6.765 (no species mentioned in analogues) gains dimension in light of Chaucer having been robbed at a "fowle oak" in Kent in 1390, and also suggests, therefore, that Chaucer must have been written PardT after this incident.
