La non-métamorphose de Céyx et Alcyone dans le Livre de la Duchesse de Chaucer

Published
Adrian Papahagi, ed. Métamorphoses (Paris: Association des Médiviéstes Anglicistes de l'Enseignement Supérieur, 2003), pp. 218-29.

Description
In BD, the omission of the transformation of Ceyx and Alcyone--included in other versions of the narrative--runs counter to the expectation of readers, thus exacerbating the anti-consolatory element in the adjacent narrator's dream.

Alternative Title
Métamorphoses.

Book of the Duchess.
