Tone and Time in Chaucer's 'Troilus and Criseyde'
- Published
- ELH 43 (1976): 141-53.
- Description
- As narrator Chaucer partakes heartily in the general mood of each book of TC. The detached coldness of the poem's apocalyptic ending suggests divine omniscience, making the reader acutely aware of the difference between his perception of the mutable world and of the eternal world beyond his own conception.
