Description
Yang considers several aspects of translation and the rhetoric of translation in TC: the narrator's "double role" as translator and author, Pandarus as translator, Diomede as a "force of the translation process," Criseyde as "text" that is translation and retranslated, and Troilus's rise to the sphere as Chaucer's translation of Boccaccio's "Filostrato" from a secular to a religious poem.
