- Description
- In MLT, Chaucer transforms medieval concepts of divine and human time "to formulate a powerful expression regarding the positive use of time in this world." Harry Bailly's introductory focus on time is significant; "Custance's story illustrates a religious standard transcendent of history, yet still within it, by which to judge one's use of the time granted."
