- Description
- Readers of medieval allegory look for meaning but find themselves obliged by many factors to revise their interpretations. Even the literal sense proves highly complex, seeming to shift as it develops, so that readers must reconsider. Moore analyzes Mel, various works by Henryson, and Piers Plowman (B-Text, Passus 18) from this perspective.
