- English 65 (2016): 191-210.
- Description
- Claims that in reworking TC, Shakespeare "turns it inside out": the work of creating Criseyde's double image shifts from the narrator to Troilus, who also embodies the narrator's "longing and dread of the erotic," and eye-witness testimony fills the role of Chaucer's "olde bokes."
