- Published
- Mediaevalia 6 (1980): 187-207.
- Description
- The parallel between Griselda and Mary, from preelection and marriage through maternal suffering to final coronation, is integral and pervasive in ClT. Mary embodies the canonical myth of the life of the Christian soul from baptism to heaven; Griselda humanizes the myth, but retains mythic force.
