- Description
- Compares and contrasts SqT and the analogous Middle Dutch "Roman van Walewein," focusing on their eastern settings, treatments of marvel, and other romance conventions. Considers Chaucer's possible knowledge of Middle Dutch and "Van Walewein," observes connections with Th, and posits that Arthurian allusions in SqT may be a "nod" in the direction of Flanders.
