- Published
- Neuphilologische Mitteilungen 72 (1971): 62-68.
- Description
- Explicates details and images of the Cook in ManP to argue for a "three-fold elaboration": the besotted Cook is a "victim of obsession with drink" who exhibits the pallor of the love-lorn knight which is also the paleness of the alchemical fire-tender of CYP.
