- Description
- By looking at two surviving "Patient Grissel" plays, the prose chapbook, and the ballad on the same subject, Baldwin shows that the popularity of Chaucer's ClT extended into the sixteenth century. Greene loosely modeled his "Pandosto" on the story of Patient Grissel. Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale," though based on "Pandosto" and though close to Phillip's and Dekker's Grissel plays, is even closer to ClT.
