- Identifies complex intertextual relations among KnT, the story of Amis and Amiloun, Shakespeare and Fletcher's "Two Noble Kinsmen." and archival references to two lost Tudor plays, "Palamon and Arcite" and "Alexander and Lodowick, "exploring differences between motifs of medieval sworn brotherhood and humanist classical friendship.
