Description
Boffey and Edwards confront several scholarly and critical issues that pertain to LGW: date, occasion, sources and models, patronage, and the relation of the F and G versions of LGWP. The authors emphasize the variety in the legends themselves and suggest that the narrator grows impatient as the legends accumulate.
