- Description
- Identifies internal "traces of uncertainty and changes of mind" in the composition process of TC, aligning them with the poem's theme of the unreliability of Boethian Fortune and challenging ideas about the supposed "planned wholeness" of TC and its putative unitary narrator. Examines ways that Chaucer's contemporary London contributes to his depiction of Troy and its culture, evident by contrast with details from Boccaccio and other sources.
