'Processe of Tyme' : History, Consolation, and Apocalypse in the 'Book of the Duchess'
- Published
- Exemplaria 2 (1990): 659-83.
- Description
- Consolation can be effected in BD only by the creation of a radically "privatized" apocalyptic "moment" situated not only "outside the text itself" but also outside the historical world, a moment capable of giving mourners "imaginative space" to exchange their conception of history as an endless cycle of loss for a transcendent vision of eternal habitation.
