- Chaucer Review 14 (1980): 319-35.
- Description
- Chaucer's addition of Troilus' swoon allows reestablishment of "obeisaunce" critical to Criseyde's loving him, and threatened by Pandarus' story of his jealousy and his own inability to refute or continue it. Mutual apologies suggest mutual surrender and Chaucer's attention to the fine points of relationships.
