- Description
- In Chaucer's TC and Shakespeare's "Troilus and Cressida," the actions focused on the lovers are remarkably alike in general contours and specific internal resonances, a resemblance which points to Chaucer as Shakespeare's source. Chaucer shows a clash of people with differing emotional and philosophical assumptions, Shakespeare a clash of abstract creeds.
