- Description
- Discusses Marian identification in PrT, in particular Marian miracles, as well as connections to the Virgin Mary in SNT, Th, and WBPT. Emphasizes development of Middle English Marian miracle texts, and Mary's "symbolic connection to Jews." Claims that Chaucer altered emphasis of these texts from "monastic-devotional to literary-secular realms."
