James Kreuzer, "The Swallow in Chaucer's "Miller's Tale"

Kreuzer, James. R. "The Swallow in Chaucer's 'Miller's Tale'". Modern Language Notes. The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1958 pg. 81.

Gives an interesting bit of background on the significance of the image of Alison as a swallow--unconventional in romantic imagery, but relevant to the plot.
