- Description
- Argues that in TC Criseyde is the "embodiment of literary invention," enacting a "poetological" claim to fame, both humble and arrogant. Through his Cressida, Shakespeare presents a similar "counter-authorship," one that reflects the playwright's engagement with the sixteenth-century "Poets' War."
