Description
Pearsall considers a range of medieval visual and verbal landscapes, exploring how they signify "something other" and enable the observer of the landscape to rove freely and "compose its meaning as if afresh." The essay refers to BD, PF, LGW, the Troilus frontispiece, and several works influenced by Chaucer.
