- Description
- Argues that ClT allegorically "reveals key elements of a medieval doctrine of justification," reading Walter as God and Griselda as a "reformed sinner." The tale also "provides a window into how a number of key scriptural texts figured into this doctrine," and changing interpretations of these texts clarify how medieval and Reformation views on justification differ.
