- Description
- Treats GP among a number of other works in Middle English, arguing that its uses of estates satire align with notions of individual responsibility found in Henry Bracton's legal discourse, "De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae." Also considers MLT and its analogues in light of the "debate over the nature and scope of royal and individual sovereignty."
