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. | Chaucer and the Poets by Winthrop Wetherbee, Paper over Board | Indigo Chapters
