Abstract

The article offers criticism on the 15th-century riddle poem "I have a 3ong suster," written by an anonymous author. Topics examined include the definition of the word suster, which is believed to mean "beloved" or "sweetheart," possible sexual interpretations of the work and insights on the poem's exploration of identity.
