Theoretical reflections, case studies from a wide variety of languages, examinations of devotional literature from figures such as Bishop Reginald Pecock, and analyses of works that are more secular in focus, including some by Chaucer and Christine de Pizan, come together in this volume to transcend linguistic and disciplinary boundaries."--Pub. desc UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=682841 ER -
