- Description
- Analyzes the expression "wring one's hands" in TC, HF, MLT, and ClT, and other Middle English romances. Focuses on frequency, associated gestures, and the gender of the person performing the action. Finds that the expression often accompanies other gestures to convey deep grief, is used more to depict women's sorrow, and plays a crucial role in advancing the narrative in scenes of grief. In Japanese.
