The 'Book of the Duchess': Hunting and the 'Ubi Sunt' Tradition
- Published
- Review of English Studies 38 (1987): 299-314.
- Description
- Reviews scholarship and examines the hunt in BD in the context of other portrayals of the hunt in medieval literature. Because of its portrayal of sudden and shocking death, the "ubi sunt" tradition is an appropriate context: the poem ends with the dreamer's question, "Where is she now?"
