- Description
- Compares and contrasts Chaucer's "Pandare" of TC with Shakespeare's Pandarus of "Troilus and Cressida," emphasizing the degenerate nature of the latter and Shakespeare's reduction of the "great depth of . . . personality" that characterizes Chaucer's version—a "fully fleshed-out, complex human being operating on a great many levels of feeling, thought and expression at the same time."
