The Ending of the Troilus --IndexIn this sensitive reading of Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, Winthrop Wetherbee redefines the nature of Chaucer's poetic vision. Using as a starting point Chaucer's profound admiration for the achievement of Dante and the classical poets, Wetherbee sees the Troilus as much more than a courtly treatment of an event in ancient history-it is, he asserts, a major statement about the poetic tradition from which it emerges. Wetherbee demonstrates the evolution of the poet-narrator of the Troilus, who begins as a poet of romance, bound by the characters' limited worldview, but who in the end becomes a poet capable of realizing the tragic and ultimately the spiritual implications of his story.Love in literatureCressida (Fictitious character)Trojan WarLiterature and the warTroilus (Legendary character) in literatureAnthologieslcgftLove in literature.Cressida (Fictitious character)Trojan WarLiterature and the war.Troilus (Legendary character) in literature.821/.1Wetherbee Winthrop1938-202752MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910136646403321Chaucer and the Poets2428194UNINA
