Spenser Studies 10 (1992): 245-73.

Description
Skelton's "Tunnyng of Elynour Rummynge" mixes "Chaucerian and Langlandian forms," capitalizing on their presentations of female sexuality and economic value. Skelton's Elynour is neither a personification (like Lady Mede) nor realistic (like the Wife of Bath). Also considers the wife in ShT.
