Wyth Vertuez Ennourned: The Concept of Virtue in the Works of the Pearl-Poet examines the rhetorical tradition of the virtues in the literature of medieval England, and explores the ways in which a prominent medieval poet reframes this tradition in Pearl, Cleanness, Patience, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
