- Published
- ChauR 42 (2008): 298-311.
- Description
- Bromyard's denunciation of "popular views on sex" in the Luxuria section of his "Summa Predicantium" resonates verbally and structurally with WBP, suggesting that the Wife's performance functions in part as a counterattack to such sermonizing by Bromyard and others.
