- Description
- Treats TC and Thomas Walsingham's "Ditis ditatus" as the two major Troy narratives of late fourteenth-century England, considering the influences of Dictys and Dares (along with Boccaccio) on the two works, and focusing on their depictions of various secondary characters (Helen, Paris, Deiphebus, and Hector) as mirrors of late-medieval political events and conditions.
