'Makyng' in Comedy: 'Troilus and Criseyde' V, 1788

Published
Neuphilologische Mitteilungen 86 (1985): 489-93.

Description
The prayer for might to "make in som comedye" (TC 5.1788) is not a scribal error but an indication that Chaucer may have seen the poet, like God, as a creator who enters his own fictive world and creates from "within" it.

Chaucer Subjects
Troilus and Criseyde.
