Dramatic Chronology in 'Troilus and Criseyde'
- Published
- English Language Notes 14 (1976): 9-13.
- Description
- Readers err in trying to define the time-scheme of TC too closely, since only a few days of the story's three years are narrated in detail. One must distinguish, therefore, between historical and dramatic chronology, noting Chaucer's emphasis more on the intensity of experience than on its duration.
