- Description
- Chaucer's moral judgment of Troilus may be uncertain, and his judgment of Criseyde is definitely uncertain. Readers have attempted to clarify these judgments by appeals outside the text to law and theology; however, reading Henryson's "Testament" as a continuation of Chaucer with close attention to the intertextual connections makes clear that both Troilus and Criseyde are ameliorated.
