Summary

A collection of reprinted essays and extracts on "Troilus and Creseyde" and Chaucer's other poems. Its purpose is twofold: both to make readily available a selection of interpretations, and to facilitate appreciation of the evolving tradition of critical writing on Chaucer's work.

Critical Essays on Chaucer's "Troilus" and His Major Early Works Summary

Critical Essays on Chaucer's "Troilus" and His Major Early Works by C. David Benson

This collection is a companion volume to that edited by Malcolm Andrew on "The Canterbury Tales", and the selection of articles and extracts is governed by the same criteria. This collection is designed as a provision for students of medieval literature. There has been no new collection in paperback of important and representative criticism of "Troilus" and the minor poems since the early 1960s. This collection shows how Chaucer criticism has developed in this century, especially over the last 25 years, and demonstrates the range of methodologies used.
