The Reader as Author: Influence of Anxiety?
- Published
- Indian Journal of American Studies 23.1 (1993): 65-74.
- Description
- Discusses TC, Henryson's "Testament of Cresseid," Shakespeare's "Troilus and Cressida," and Dryden's "Troilus and Cressida or Truth Found Too Late," arguing that each treatment of Criseyde reflects how its author responds to literary tradition. In these "Criseyde-texts," she is the primary object of interpretation, the "axis round which the life-world of the texts revolve."
