- Description
- Identifies parallel concerns with privacy and erotic tension in TC and Shakespeare's "Troilus and Cressida," both of which pose the closed space of the bedchamber against the pressures of crowdedness in Troy/London, gossip, and public observation. Suggests that the "invention and execution" of Shakespeare's depiction depend upon the "restricted environment" of Chaucer's poem.
