商品簡介
From the introduction: "The Renaissance female pastoral guide, in the form of goddess, mage, and/or wise woman, uses magic, witty game playing, advice, and penance or tests of virtue to guide the other characters to a better understanding of themselves and their relationship to society. She possesses a bond with the sacred harmony of nature that enables her to recognize the corruptions of society...." Yang (English, Worcester State College) explores these themes through close study of works including Endymion, A Midsmmer Night's Dream, Love's Victory, and All's Well That Ends Well, among others.
