- Description
- Challenges D.W. Robertson's approach to allegory and to the WBP, arguing that the medieval outlook was more flexible than Robertson asserted, more capable of varied attitudes toward present times, the historical past, the eschatological future, and the impact of the Resurrection. Argues that the Wife's view of her own sexuality and morality embodies a comic, positive view of accepting one's own worldly estate.
