Medieval Go-Betweens and Chaucer's Pandarus

by Gretchen Mieszkowski

Book Overview

This book explores the rich, complex, literary tradition of the medieval go-between. Idealized going between usually leads to marriage and it develops a new dimension of the much debated question of courtly love and woman's part in it. Chaucer's Pandarus's place in this go-between tradition is a tour de force.
