- Review
- Studies the tradition of Medea "as it is manifested in English and French Literatures [sic] from approximately 1160 to 1477 together with a discussion of Medea's classical background and appearance in a number of important medieval Latin and Italian texts . . . . The focus of my discussion is on the presentation of Medea in late-fourteenth and early-fifteenth century English literature where her story is represented by three histories of Troy . . . as well as Chaucer, in the 'Legend of Good Women,' and Gower, in the 'Confessio Amantis'."
