Time in the Towneley Cycle, 'King Horn,' 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,' and Chaucer's 'Troilus and Criseyde'

Description: Describes the "typological" uses of time in the mystery cycles, the "biological time" of the heroes' actions in most romances, and the much more complex concern with time in TC, where "all action and characters" are placed in time and are given "depth" and "perspective" by the narrator's attention to three temporal settings: history, his telling, and his audience.
