- Description
- Reading the loathly lady's discourse on gentilesse (WBT) against the Statutes of Kilkenny (imposed by the English crown on the Anglo-Irish in 1366) highlights the conflict of nobility as defined either by blood line or by behavior (sanguinity or disciplinarity, in Foucauldian terms), but the Wife's conclusion refuses this clean interpretive segmentation.
