- Description
- Although courtly love, magic, and supernatural situations make up the framework of FranT, the role played by binding agreements, contracts, and consent in the Tale alters the traditional definition of magic. Claims that fourteenth-century society was gradually turning toward techné and the role of the marvelous, one of the key components of romance.
