- Description
- Provides background to franklins in medieval England and uses Stephen Greenblatt's notion of "self-fashioning" to assess the characterization of the Franklin in GP, in his words to the Squire (Sq-FranL), and in FranT as an "embodiment of the 'new man,' who has held administrative duties owing to his monetary status and thus who claims gentility despite his need for social recognition and acceptance."
