Journal of the Department of English (University of Calcutta) 22 (1986-87): 72-89.

Description
Chaucer's portrayal of Criseyde had to remain true to Boccaccio's account of her as a betrayer of Troilus, both underlining and undercutting her traditional character and conveying Boethius's idea of the nature of "human felicite."

Chaucer Subjects
Troilus and Criseyde.
