How to order this book

One of the few introductions to Chaucer's poem of failed love amid the ruins of war, Allen J. Frantzen's study distinguishes itself by accommodating the multiplicity of ideas at play both within the text and among the various interpretations of Troilus and Criseyde that have fallen in and out of vogue since it first appeared in medieval London.

Contents include chapters on: 'Social text, historical context', 'The importance of the work', 'Critical reception and the history of the work', and a detailed reading of the poem in seven chapters.
