- Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1984.
- Description
- Sequel to the author's "The Bible in Early English Literature," this volume surveys literary trends using biblical traditions: examines medieval drama, lyrics, PF, works of the "Pearl" poet, and "Piers Plowman."
- Includes "Chaucer's 'Parliament of Fowls and the Hexameral Tradition," pp. 128-70, which presents an overview of Ambrose's 'Hexameron' and argues for the informing presence of the hexameral tradition on a deep level--though it scarcely rises to the surface--in the text of PF.
