- Description
- McCormick outlines game theory and summarizes the medieval rhetorical tradition in which debate and dream vision were memorial and ethical media. She describes how exempla were used in the "Querelle des Femmes," arguing that LGW engages the "Querelle" as a game and uses exempla in ways that evoke ethical responsibility from the reader.
