- Description
- Presents a "structural description" of TC which anatomizes its five-book construction, its "time units" and their chronology, and its "narrative units" (signaled by shifts in narrative "modes") and their patterning. The description of these various units in the poem is followed by an analysis of the arrangement of temporal and narrative units, and the volume concludes with charts of the data. This is a version of the author's 1969 dissertation which has with the same title.
