- Description
- Considers the concept of "manhod" (3.428) in TC in relation to critical discussions of Troilus's masculinity, reading Troilus's emotions in light of late medieval literary and social conventions and arguing that Chaucer's experiment in emotion is neither conventional nor condemnatory: "Troilus attempts to fashion a wholly original performance of masculinity in his loving of Criseyde."
