Full Description
The three Oxford Guides to Chaucer are written by scholars of international repute, with the purpose of summarizing what is known about his works and offering interpretations based on recent advances in both historical knowledge and theoretical understanding. Barry Windeatt's volume on "Troilus and Criseyde" addresses these matters for the poem that is regarded as Chaucer's most ambitious single achievement, his masterpiece, and one of the very finest narrative poems in the English language. The guide includes an account of Chaucer's use of his sources, analysis of the poem's genre, and a commentary on all aspects of its themes, structure, and style. It also contains a survey of literary responses to Troilus in the three centuries following Chaucer's death.
