- Published
- Exemplaria 31 (2019): 293-314.
- Description
- Offers a psychoanalytical reparative reading of PrT, focusing on PrP, the conclusion of the tale, and various intertexts (Psalm 8; the "Alma Redemptoris Mater"; and Dante's "Purgatorio," XXXIII), unpacking interplays between utterance and intention; Mary and the "regressive fantasy of an ideal mother"; and law, mercy, antisemitism, and the Jews in the tale, who "are the properly human subjects of ethical choice."
