Title
Glossing over the Lamb: Phonaesthetic 'GL'- in Middle English and Aural Scepticism in 'Pearl'

Published
Review of English Studies 65, no. 271 (2014): 596-618.

Description
Chaucer's use of ME "glareth" in HF and "glose" in ParsP supports Williams's larger argument that the central theme of "ocular scepticism" in "Pearl" is extended into its formal alliterative structures, especially in polysemous ME "gl"- words.
