'Troilus and Criseyde', Geoffrey Chaucer's most substantial
completed work, is a long historical romance; its famous tale of
love and betrayal in the Trojan War later inspired William
Shakespeare. This reader's guide, written specifically for students
of medieval literature, provides a scene-by-scene paraphrase and
commentary on the whole text. Each section explains matters of
meaning, interpretation, plot structure and character development,
the role of the first-person narrating voice, Chaucer's use of his
source materials and elements of the poem's style. Brief and
accessible discussions of key themes and sources (for example the
art of love, the holy bond of things, Fortune and Thebes) are
provided in separate textboxes. An ideal starting point for
studying the text, this book helps students through the initial
language barrier and allows readers to enjoy and understand this
medieval masterpiece.
