Description
Studies obedience in Middle English literature, including discussion of the theme in LGW and Ovid’s "Tristia" and comparison of ClT and "Pearl" as works which indicate that imperfect obedience "is as culturally and theologically important and perhaps more poetically interesting than utter self-abnegation in late medieval England."
