About this title

Synopsis

A study of the medieval idea that defined the "world" as recorded in I John 2:16-the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Conflict in Troilus and Criseyde, Piers Plowman, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is explored.

Originally published in 1966.
