Published
Andrew James Johnston, Russell West-Pavlov, and Elisabeth Kempf, eds. Love, History and Emotion in Chaucer and Shakespeare: "Troilus and Criseyde" and "Troilus and Cressida" (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2016), pp. 157-70.

Description
Comments on Chaucer's expansion in TC of the emotional range of Boccaccio's "Il filostrato" and focuses on Shakespeare's expansion and narrowing of Chaucer's poem in "Troilus and Cressida": Shakespeare develops a "generic range" in the play that is as expansive as Part 1 of CT but, influenced by Robert Henryson's "Testament of Cresseid," he undercuts Chaucer's depiction of love in TC, presenting its effects as diseased.
