The Poetics of Time Management from the "Metamorphoses" to "Il filocolo" and "The Franklin's Tale."

- Description
- Examines the management of time in the "Aeson episode" of Ovid's "Metamorphoses" (Book VII), the Tale of Menedon in Boccaccio's "Filocolo,"and FranT, focusing on Medea's "carmen," Tebano's magic, Dorigen's complaint, and their parallels with poetic composition. Dorigen's complaint conveys a sense of "productive contingency" and resists order or completion, suggesting that what remains unsaid can be powerfully evocative (as in LGW) and that the "establishment of interpretive perspective . . . [is] an event that takes place in time" (as in CT).
