BRichey The Nun's Priest

ABSTRACT

GENERAL PROLOGUE

The Nun’s Priest is not described in detail in the ‘General Prologue’ and so our impression of him is dependent upon his tale, along with its prologue and epilogue. Little work has been done on the Nuns’ Priests who were responsible for saying, mass, preaching and hearing confession in English nunneries but we can learn something about their position, social origins, income, piety, and learning.
