- 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.
