- Description
- Marvin traces a pattern of concern with literary interpretation in LGWP-F and exemplifies that the pattern is also evident in "some of the legends themselves," particularly Dido's. The F prologue and the tale assert bookish authority, question it, reject it, and then affirm the difficulty of resolving such contradictions.
