Title
The Nature of Nature: Criseyde's 'Slydyng Corage'

Chaucer Review 13 (1978): 133-40.

Description
Criseyde's characterization and role in Chaucer's fiction define the way Nature herself looks and functions in the world. Troilus and Pandarus as "priests of Nature" cannot reconcile their image of her with a nature that is "slyding of corage."

Chaucer Subjects
