- Published
- Women's Studies 24 (1995): 191-204.
- Description
- In TC, Chaucer amplified traits in Criseyde that Boccaccio emphasized less in "Filostrato."
- Criseyede's social isolation, fearfulness, awareness of her social rank, and vulnerability both make her a more fully realized character than Boccaccio's Criseida and maker her betrayal of Troilus more understandable.

- Troilus and Criseyde.
