Pages tanned. ; Wood engravings; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 309 pages; The tragedy of Troilus and Criseyde is one of the greatest narrative poems in English literature. Set during the siege of Troy, it tells how the young knight Troilus, son of King Priam, falls in love with Criseyde, a beautiful widow. Brought together by Criseyde's uncle, Pandarus, the lovers are then forced apart by the events of war, which test their oaths of fidelity and trust to the limits. Described by editor Barry Windeatt as Chaucer's most ambitious single achievement, his masterpiece, Troilus and Criseyde is the first work in English to depict human passion with such sympathy and understanding.
Dustjacket has shelf wear and minor soiling covered in mylar. ; Author examines Chaucer's unfinished and puzzling work House of Fame, and finds its author struggling to establish a rhetorical and intellectual stance for the artist that can accomodate traditional material while reserving a skeptical attitude toward it.

Ex-library copy with usual stamps, call numbers and pocket. ; 0.55 x 8.5 x 5.59 Inches; 126 pages; This book examines "Troilus and Criseyde" and "The Knight's Tale" as poems which work the same plot to contrasting tragic and joyous endings but for the same purpose, of exploring the folly of electing the temporal world over the eternal. It demonstrates that the tragedy of "Troilus and Criseyde" is a consequence of the folly of relying on Fortune and temporal bliss and works through the pattern of a similar dependence in "The Knight's Tale." It then develops the portrayal of the protagonists of the poems as Fortune's Fools through a scrutiny of courtship as game of play, of "caritas" and "cupiditas" contrasted with the implications of pity, mercy, grace, and love as used in temporal contexts in the poem but defined theologically elsewhere in Chaucer, and of the limitations of knighthood and chivalry as defined by the world of the poems.
