- Published
- Essays in Honor of Walter Clyde Curry (Nashville: Vanderbilt University Press, 1954), pp. 61-76.
- Description
- Explores parallels and tensions between earthly and heavenly love in TC, investigating how the theological "doctrine" of grace--inflected by ideas of merit, hope, and despair--is adapted to courtly, earthly conventions in the poem. Focuses on uses of religious language, imagery, and sentiment to depict Troilus's love and Criseyde's responses.
