'Of remembraunce the keye' and the anomalous tales of metamorphoses in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Legend of Good Women
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Legend of Good Women pushes received literary forms into an experimental ground focusing at the same time on tradition and on in its renewed effects. In accordance with other texts by the author, this poem offers a rewriting of Ovidian stories through a deliberately scattered appropriation particularly observable in its anomalous use of metamorphosis as a narrative topic. In this poem, writing serves as the key to a shared memory, instead of making a display of learning or of disclosing underlying truths.
