- Description
- Looks at Shakespeare's "Troilus and Cressida" in the context of its medieval legacy, including works by Chaucer, Lydgate, and Henryson, to argue that Shakespeare "continues an important late medieval poetic tradition, which highlights the problematic consequences of virtue's performativity for idealized women in premodern England."
