The Heart in 'Troilus and Criseyde': The Eye of the Beast, the Mirror of the Mind, the Jewel and Its Setting

Published
Chaucer Review 18 (1984): 316-27.

Description
Hundreds of references in TC to the heart are not casual but calculated. The heart is both a vessel and something that can be placed within a vessel. Allusions contrast Pandarus and Diomede with the two lovers and also contrast Criseyde with Troilus.
