- Description
- Suggests that aspects of the ritual of sacramental confession are noticeable in the fabricated version of Troilus's admission of love that Pandarus reports to Criseyde in TC 2.523ff. Also notes other echoes of confession in Books 1 and 2 that Chaucer's audience was likely to notice.
