- Description
- Considers Chaucer's attention to the city of Troy in TC, focusing on the Palladium festival in Book 1 and Troilus's ride through the city in Book 5, arguing that the scenes reflect the influence of Virgil's "Aeneid" and associate the fall of Troy with Troilus's initial viewing of Criseyde and the inevitable demise of their relationship.
