- Description
- Explores the roles of distress, dislocation, and thoughtfulness in medieval academic discourse, theology, and literary invention. Includes comments on the scene of encountering marvels in SqT (81ff., esp. 189–95)--among the "many [examples] to choose from" in medieval romance--which produces "wonder and speculation" rather than "fear or terror," correlating it with parallels in "Piers Plowman," Dante's "Divine Comedy," and "Pearl."
