- Description
- Focusing on failures of the male body depicted in the consummation scene of TC and in the autobiographical episode of the C-text, Calabrese compares Troilus of TC and Will of "Piers Plowman" as masculine questors in search of truth. Pandarus "roughly corresponds" to Langland's Recklessness and Criseyde to his Lady Meed.
