- Description
- Studies "the moral meaning of spiritual and political mediation" in late medieval England, focusing on miracles of the Virgin, TC, Julian of Norwich's "A Revelation of Love," and Thomas Hoccleve's "Regiment of Princes," using aspects of Emmanuel Levinas's "concept of the third party to articulate ethical concepts at work in the literature." Treats Pandarus in TC as "a model of failed mediation,"
a refraction of "the city of Troy's self-interested politics."
