- Description
- Both the portraits of GP and the representations of the Deadly Sins in "Piers Plowman" (B text of "Visio") achieve a new form, combining the traditional with "individualized details." Such a pattern is analogous to the development of late-Gothic effigies on royal tombs.
- Chaucer Subjects
- General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales.
