- Description
- Dauby examines the transformations from living characters to artifacts and vice versa, the interplay between life and art. A comparative study of "Sir Degrevant," Lancelot, the Tristan legend, and poems by Chaucer leads to a typology of the metamorphoses into art: ornamental though relevant scenery, animated works of art, the retrieval of past experience, the intrusion of the future.
