Review
A balanced study of the CA, in relation to rhetorical, courtly, and theological traditions. The "middel weie" is stylistic and existential, functioning not only as a directive for the practicing poet, but also for practicing believers attempting to bring peace to their souls and to the world. [RFY1981].
