- Description
- Observes similarities of form and theme in FranT and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, particularly the focus on trawthe/trouthe in each, arguing that they transcend the romance genre. Contrasts FranT with Menedon's Question in Boccaccio's Filocolo to clarify that Dorigen is Chaucer's protagonist.
