- Description
- Argues that TC is a psychological "novel" insofar as it explores how the lovers' uses of courtly language and conventions disguise their "urgent sensuality" ("drängende Sinnlichkeit"), even from themselves. Compares and contrasts Chaucer's and Boccaccio's versions to show how the English poet amplifies Troilus's and Criseyde's dependency on Pandarus and on the contingencies of Fortune.
