Considers Criseyde, Troilus, and Pandarus as figures of Spirit, Psyche, and Self respectively, suggesting that the interactions among the three characters in TC depict a "false theology" that is made right in Troilus's translation.

Although recent criticism tends to classify Chaucer as an Ockhamist/nominalist, a close study of his most philosophical poem, TC, indicates that his thought was traditional and scholastic.
Surveys Ockhamism and Chaucer's exposure to it. Through both a "philosophical interpretation of character" and a close analysis of images, words, and discourse, Andretta maintains Chaucer's allegiance to "manifest truths that are skeptical, and only…

Analysis of typical scholarly and critical comment on GP reveals that the common practice of assuming a context for the pilgrims' daily lives has some unsatisfactory consequences. Chaucer creates a fiction of travel to free the pilgrims from the…

Although critics have generally dismissed "Sir Gawain's" Troy frame as insignificant, it may offer a retrospective, ironic context for predicting the fall of Arthurian civilization. Chaucer's TC also uses "retrospective irony" to create "a rich and…

The comparison of Alison to a swallow in MilT 3257-58 may refer to the story of Procne. The tale (from Ovid) is mentioned both in Gower's "Confessio Amantis" and in Chaucer's TC; it suggests the very sort of material woe found in MiltT.
In GP 6 "inspired" evokes the Vulgate Gen. 2:7, suggesting Lenten spiritual renewal and the natural regenerative effect of the west wind in springtime.

The point of the proverb that a man may not sin with his own wife or cut himself with his own knife is reversed in MerT. Chaucer intends the effect of surprise to create a sense of the nature and significance of January's wrong headedness.

The central issue for interpretation in TC is the nature and source of human value. The two primary ways in which values are established and tested in the poem are through the use of a significant amount of philosophical material relating to the…
