Wynkyn de Worde and the Ending of Chaucer's 'Troilus and Criseyde'
- Published
- Modern Philology 78 (1981): 275-77.
- Description
- The three anonymous stanzas that Wynkyn printed at the end of his 1517 edition of the poem suggest that neither the sympathy for Criseyde felt by moderns nor the poet's view of TC as a religious work would have been found in an early reader. Wynkyn gives the antifeminist moral that Chaucer's narrator avoided.
