- Description
- Analyzes three European folktales (Breton, Danish, and Irish) within the "miller-plot" subgenre, comparing them to RvT, "The Mylner of Abyngton," and other stories to highlight their shared features and deeper connections. Suggests that these folktales may have influenced literary versions through cross-pollination, challenging rigid distinctions between narrative strands such as "love plots" and "miller plots."
