Title
R. K. Gordon and the 'Troilus and Criseyde' Story

Published
Chaucer Review 15 (1981): 127-37.

Description
Gordon's translation of "Le Roman de Troie" distorts Benoit by omitting important passages. The most critical omission is one of a moralizing nature which emphasizes the fickleness of Criseyde and all women. Gordon must have been influenced by the gentle interpretation of Criseyde current in his time.
