This reading is based on the hypothesis that some of the well-known medieval rhymed Hebrew stories are based on uncertainty as a poetic principle and that this principle can explain (and be explained by) their frequent use of contradictory elements and varied forms of the ironic, the grotesque, and the ambiguous. |
