- Description
- Eugene Vance's belief that Criseyde's love is a matter of sexual arousal culminating when Troilus rides by is at odds with Chaucer's depiction of the growth of Criseyde's love, changed from the "Filostrato," to show Criseyde falling in love at first sight but to prevent us from knowing what part sexual desire plays in her love.
