- Description
- KnT--a romance like none other in English--is clearly designed to set forth the Knight's "declaration of intent." An attempt to "order existence," KnT eschews both the "cosmic harmony" of the traditional romance and the "imminent defeat" of the epic in favor of the "heroic-tragic" view, which reflects the "inevitable collision between a harmonious ideal of society and human reality."
