'Game in myn hood': The Traditions of a Comic Proverb

- Studies in Iconography 9 (1983): 1-12.
- Description
- Semantic associations, proverbial wisdom, and a coherent visual tradition establish the hood as a symbol of hypocrisy and sexual betrayal; this enriches the comic effect of Miller and Pardoner, of Pandarus and Criseyde.
