- Description
- Examines the dawn songs (aubades) in TC and Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" as elaborate versions of the linguistic category of parting or separation. Both dawn songs assert consolidation and assuage possible feelings of rejection; they also reestablish the courtly mode by displacing physical intimacy with language. Further, the song in TC reasserts the courtly hierarchy that had been displaced by temporary equality.
