Poetry as Conjuring Act: 'The Franklin's Tale' and the 'Tempest'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 38 (2004): 337-54.
- Description
- FranT and the "Tempest" share not only similarities in plot, character, and theme but also an engagement with the "status of poetry as allusion and conjuring act." The sense of "fiction dissolving into real life, and the voice of the narrator becoming the voice of the poet, may itself be the crowning illusion of fiction." Shakespeare "paid tribute" to Chaucer.
