- Description
- Wing explores similarities and differences among the characterizations of Emelye in Boccaccio's Teseida, KnT, Anne de Graville's Le beau romant, and The Two Noble Kinsmen. The characterizations differ, but only in Shakespeare and Fletcher's play is the character's passivity exposed as powerlessness.
