- Description
- Reads TC as a "romance in the tragic mode" that reflects the "mood of many Englishmen in the late fourteenth century." Focuses on the role of the narrator and the rhetorical strategies (with reference to the "Ad Herennium") that Chaucer uses to convey a sense that human endeavors, driven by sex and war, are painful, but nevertheless indicate transcendence.
