Description
Considers the depictions of poverty in the opening of NPT (7.2821-46) in light of the apparently contradictory attitudes expressed in MLP (2.99-133) and the gentility speech of WBT (3.1177-1206), finding "contextualized" truths. Also considers attitudes towards poverty in analogous passages from the "Roman de la Rose," Pope Innocent's "De Contemptus Mundi," and Langland's "Piers Plowman."
