- Description
- After advocating eschatological explication of medieval poems not explicitly apocalyptic in nature and concluding that Thomas Wimbledon's "Sermon" (1388) exhibits personal and universal eschatological elements, Emmerson and Herzman examine such elements in "Piers Plowman," "The Divine Comedy," Chaucer's Ret, the pilgrim frame of CT, ParsT, and PardT.
