- Published
- Chaucer Review 27 (1993): 342-58.
- Description
- Examines the ambiguous character of Criseyde in TC 4. Chaucer gives her a point of view only to call her morality into question and he provides a sense of history that he never allows her fully to understand. TC is a "feminist work that fails to liberate women."
