Abstract:
»Missing the Point compares instances of sexual assault within the Fabliaux and other late medieval fables. In this comparison, a pattern of mis/disinformation becomes clear, granting new insight into how medieval and contemporary cases of sexual assault may be perpetuated by mis/disinformation within sexual and even economical education.«
