Narrative, Authority and Power: The Medieval Exemplum and the Chaucerian Tradition - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature
Larry Scanlon
Little attention has been paid to the political and ideological significance of the medieval exemplum, a brief narrative form used to illustrate a moral. Through a study of four major works in the Chaucerian tradition, Professor Scanlon redefines the exemplum as a 'narrative enactment of cultural authority'.
