- Description
- An introduction to TC that considers the demands it places on readers to resolve tensions posed by the work: the genre of romance opposed by conversational and material realism and by philosophical depth; the varying attitudes its poses toward the characters, especially Criseyde; and the unresolved opposition of various kinds of love. Considers style, structure, genre, theme, and the major characters, with commentary on courtly and cosmic love, secrecy, honor, truth, and Chaucer's alterations of his sources.
