- Description
- Examines the themes of prophecy and retold narrative in premodern works about Troy by Virgil, Dares and Dictys, Chaucer (TC), Lydgate, and Shakespeare, arguing that, in various ways, they "call into question the efficacy of poetry and of knowledge, but they do so in ways that ultimately reaffirm the power and limits of both knowledge and literature."
