Title
'Troilus and Criseyde': The Problems of Love and Necessity

Published
Chaucer Review 9 (1975): 285-96.

Description
By proposing aesthetic and religious inevitability, the palinode to TC relieves the reader's frustration at Chaucer's deliberately ambiguous characterization of the poem's three main characters and shows the unity underlying the seemingly diverse philosophical, religious, and courtly considerations with which previous criticism has been chiefly concerned.

Chaucer Subjects
Troilus and Criseyde.
