- Description
- Examines the Ellesmere illustration of the Prioress and early woodcut representations (Caxton, de Worde, and Pynson) of her and of the gathering of the pilgrims, arguing that the Prioress is represented as a courtly lady in Caxton's group portrait rather than, as in the other portraits, an unequivocally holy nun. Includes five b&w illustrations.
