Abstract

Abstract Cresseid’s dream in Robert Henryson’s Testament of Cresseid is closely, indeed causally, linked to her illness, faithfully predicting and enacting disease. Awaking from her vision and taking up a mirror, the once ‘fair’ (42, 78) Cresseid discovers that she has become, as the closing words of the dream explicitly predict, ‘lyke ane lazarous’ (343).
