Deiphoebus Betrayed: Virgilian Decorum, Chaucerian Feminism
- Published
- Chaucer Review 21 (1986): 182-99.
- Description
- The rich Virgilian background of TC brings into focus Hector and Deiphoebus--bound to Troilus by brotherly love and manipulated by Pandarus--and the parallel perfidies of Helen and Criseyde. In TC, the betrayal of Deiphoebus is "a feminist invention...that questions a clearly established male tradition" (p. 197).
