Book Synopsis Medieval Go-betweens and Chaucer's Pandarus by : G. Mieszkowski
Book excerpt: 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.
