Description
Examines features of CT that make it difficult to fit the work into the modern “frame” of teleological development, medieval to modern. Focuses on "postmodern" features of the work, its tensions between allegory and realism, and its game-like narrative techniques--all provocative, and difficult to reduce to conventionality.
