Description
Argues that members of the "School of Christian Interpreters" err when seeing the transcendent ending of TC as implicit throughout the poem, and evaluates the actions of Troilus and Criseyde in terms of courtly love and the operation of Fortune, attributing perceived inconsistencies in the ending of the poem to be due to the narrator's "lack of sophistication."
