Pulling Back from Politics: Second Nature and Oikonomia in the "Franklin's Tale."

Description: Contextualizes FranT using Hannah Arendt's "The Human Condition," and argues that the tale represents another moment in CT where journeys end abruptly before the destination is reached. Considers how the tale functions as "a parable of how household management, oikonomia, merged with and supplanted politics." Ends with a discussion of Dorigen and how she views the rocky Breton coast.
