Description
Compares Katherine Mansfield's and Virginia Woolf's uses of personifications of Nature as a feature of their modernism, derived from their familiarity with medieval and Renaissance depictions of Nature as a goddess, including Chaucer's Nature in PF. Also comments on the writers' familiarity with the Wife of Bath and with Pandarus as a Pan figure.
