- Description
- Offers a historicized, "iconological," Great Texts approach to CT, reading the poem as a "staged retelling of many tales, old and new" that is thereby "particularly pertinent for the larger rationale of a Great Texts curriculum." Traces two thematic patterns or "movements" in the work: rational wisdom and the Christian theological virtues, each expressed ironically at times, and both framed by recurrent concern with spiritual progress, confession, and conclusion.
