Title
Chaucer's Pandarus as an Earthly Maker

Published
Southern Humanities Review 12 (1978): 89-97.

Description
Pandarus is a persuader, not a philosopher; so he sees before him not existential problems so much as materials to be shaped to a happy resolution. An earthly maker, at points an imitation of the Divine Creator, he tries but fails to achieve a human pattern which can master time.

Chaucer Subjects
Troilus and Criseyde.
