Description
Discusses LGW alongside Middle English romance and an "hermeneutic tradition stretching from Jerome and Alan of Lille." Argues through these intersections for a mode of interpretation that centers on female desires, including silenced narratives of female desire, and opens up new avenues of interpretation for LGW, romances, and Latin texts.
