Believing Cassandra: Intertextual Politics and the Interpretations of Dreams in 'Troilus and Criseyde'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 31 (1997): 339-56.
- Description
- Both Criseyde's dream in Bk. 2 and Troilus's dream in Bk. 5 of TC are generally understood in terms that debase Criseyde. But Chaucer's intertextual construction of these dreams and his reconstruction of Cassandra and Criseyde from his sources indicate Chaucer's concern for a female audience.
