- Description
- Points to Chaucer's coinage of the English word "future" in his translation of Boethius in Bo, and considers Criseyde's use of it in TC (5.746) and her concern with her future reputation (5.1058–64). Aligns the poem's themes of "human futurity" and poetic reception with Boethian "hap" and Derridean "perhaps" as contingent, "precarious," and "fraught-with-possibility."
