- Description
- Assesses the intercessory roles of Phillippa and Anne in pleading, respectively, for the burghers of Calais and the citizens of London. Analyzes the ideology of intercessory discourse in Chaucer's pleading queens, especially Alceste in LGWP, who reflects the environment that produced the account of Anne's intercession.
