Saving Chaucer's Troilus 'with Desir and Resoun Twight'

- Description
- Critics' inability to sympathize with Troilus in TC results from their failure to recognize the "medieval practical reasoning that informs Troilus's deliberations and ultimately humanizes him." His philosophising "reflects a withdrawal from the narrative world," and, like Criseyde, he "falls victim" to dominant culture.
