Controlled Partial Confusion: Concentrated Imagery in 'Troilus and Criseyde'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 20 (1985): 83-89.
- Description
- William Empson writes of the concentrated imagery and controlled partial confusion in TC. In book 5, Chaucer manipulates the imagery of the voyage, star-steer, sun-son, etc., to bring the poem to its climax, wherein the narrator cannot indict Criseyde because she is the poetic means by which Chaucer has steered the way.
