In 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.
