- Description
- Howes explains how walking through landscape ("pedestrian logic") helps to organize many medieval narratives, including "Sir Orfeo," "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," and Chaucer's BD. She illuminates her explanations with comparisons to the layouts of medieval cathedrals and the late thirteenth-century pleasure garden, the Park of Hesdin.
