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.

Dustjacket has a few open and closed tears and pieces missing. Majority of DJ is intact. Please ask for a photo. ; From the early English Ballads through Chaucer's Canterbury Tales to Marlow's Jew of Malta and Shakespeare's Shylock the Jew has been a frequent literary subject -- generally as archvillain. In this impassioned and eloquent yet scholarly and incisive critique of early English literature the author has set out to prove that the always contemptuous characterization of the Jew was never based on observation but it was simply taken over from the New Testament. Through the careful analysis of the many surviving literary creations of the period and in the light of the history of the Jews in England before the expulsion, the author concludes that the Jew has been misrepresented and vilified on account of intolerance and fanaticism or because the artists knew no better. ; 175 pages
