Conclusion

Abstract

Griselda and her myth have constantly bewildered me ever since I first came across her story as an undergrad student attending Dr Katrin Rupp's seminar on medieval tales of love at Neuchâtel University. My thoughts on the matter later grew thanks to Prof. Lukas Erne and Prof. Elisabeth Dutton, who have both helped me deepen my knowledge of the different English versions.The present comparative study, however, would not have been possible without the deeply appreciated help and support of my supervisor, Prof. Joachim Küpper, who believed that my investigation into the Patient Griselda myth in European literature should be part of his own research group: "DramaNet". I am grateful for his time, patient guidance, and useful critique of my work.I would also like to extend my thanks to the European Research Council, which has funded the studies undertaken by the various DramaNet members, including my own.
