Contextual Information: The Franklin labels his tale a Breton lay. For a contemporary definition of the genre see: Introduction to the Lai de Frein.Although the Franklin's Tale is a very unusual "Breton lay," it does have elements of romance (see esp. Derek Pearsall, The Canterbury Tales, London, 1985. Moreover, the names of Averagus and Aurelius seem to have been derived from Geoffrey of Monmouth's Histories of the Kings of Britain, which also contains an account of Merlin's magical moving of rocks (to build Stonehenge); (see iv.15 and vii.10-12).However, no close analogues to the Franklin's Tale appear in any of the surviving romances. Much more likely is that the tale was suggested by Boccaccio; he used a story of a lover's impossible demands in the Decameron: Decameron; Tenth Day, Fifth Tale.




Love Story In Harvard Tagalog Version




Historian Vicente Rafael's Motherless Tongues: The Insurgency of Language amid Wars of Translation illuminates not only words that stop themselves but also words that amble on. A variety of political possibilities are freed in this rich account of translation events across the United States and the Philippines. On the stage of history, language appears active and translation proves agential. In this sense, Motherless Tongues continues Rafael's attention to the excesses of language in The Promise of the Foreign: Nationalism and the Technics of Translation in the Spanish Philippines (2005) and Contracting Colonialism: Translation and Christian Conversion in Tagalog Society under Early Spanish Rule (1988). Quite like Rafael's earlier works, Motherless Tongues is also about translation and, like them, it is not only about translation. It seeks, first and foremost, unexpected operations of language as it is unmoored from determinations of empires and nations. 2ff7e9595c
