"[An] engaging comparative study of literature and culture. . . .
Biow's analyses are informed and thoughtful, offering insightful
close readings of primary texts in connection with various
theoretical and cultural lines of critical inquiry. Written in a
lively, engaging, and jargon-free style, this study is both
accessible and challenging, offering a refreshing lucidity in its
attention to detail and method. Scholars, teachers, and students of
classical, medieval, and early modern literature and culture will
doubtless find much of interest in this study, a welcome addition
to comparative medieval and Renaissance studies."
