- catalog description "He considers Troilus and Criseyde in the context of medieval romance, with its social limits and its focus on the themes of love and war. The poem's treatment of love is considered in detail, in relation to religion, idealization, suffering, secrecy, honour, and fidelity and treachery. Discussion of the treatment of character and consciousness in romance leads into detailed study of the characterization of Troilus, Pandarus and Criseyde; and the consideration of Criseyde in turn leads into a study of Chaucer's distinctive feminism -- ".
- catalog description "The object of this series is to provide studies of individual novels, plays and groups of poems and essays which are known to be widely read. The emphasis is on clarification and evaluation, biographical and historical facts. Troilus and Criseyde invites the reader to fall under the spell of Chaucer's mastery of fictional illusion. In this study, A.C. Spearing has set out to define for the modern reader the conventions and assumptions on which that illusion is based, and the ways in which Chaucer draws his audience into the creation and recognition of the fiction and its limits. From this point of view, Chaucer's poem is compared at various points with the modern novel. Mr Spearing considers the poem first as a translation in which the translator's role is itself partially fictionalized; and proceeds to discuss the deliberate discontinuities of style and structure which arise from the fact that the poem was written for listeners as well as readers.
