- Description
- Observes that ClT sets its view of marriage in opposition to WBPT, suggesting that this reflects Chaucer's familiarity with Boccaccio's "Decameron" and inspired "the reversal of Griselda’s gender" in two early modern English plays, analyzed here: "The Pleasant Comedie of Patient Grissil" by Thomas Dekker, Henry Chettle, and William Haughton; and "The Honest Whore, Part I" by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker.
