- Title
Masculine Excess, Feminine Restraint, and Fatherly Guidance in the Middle Dutch Walewein ende Keye.
- Authors
Perry, Lucy
- Abstract
Excesses in the characterization of Keye are in contrast to Walewein's role in Walewein ende Keye. But is it sufficient to read Keye as a foil for Walewein and Walewein as a paragon of virtue? Examination of male and female relationships in the narrative suggests that masculine and feminine roles are controlled by the construction of Walewein as a paternal figure rather than a lover.
