- Description
Maintains that Chaucer in TC and Shakespeare in "Troilus and Cressida" present love as detached from history or topicality, depicting it through irresolvable plural discourses--Platonic, Petrarchan, courtly love-sickness, and more--and thereby "performing it aesthetically, without any particular truth value but its own."
