- Description
- Assesses the narrator of TC as a "translator-commentator" of his story, analogous to Chaucer's relation to Boethius's material when producing his Bo. This dynamic enables the narrator to stand apart from the temporality of his plot while simultaneously participating in it--a dual perspective that is like that of Boethius's own narrator and aligned with his themes of the relationships between eternality and temporality and Providence and free will.
