About This Item
University of Toronto Press. Near Fine. 1978. Softcover. 0802063683 . Reprint of 1988. With its informative introduction, collects the major medieval versions of the story of Troilus and Criseyde, each putting its own "spin" on the plot and characterization. Benoît's 12th-cent. Roman de Troie is the first version we know. Boccaccio used Troilus's woes as a medium for expressing his own grief over a lost love; his poem, Il Filostrato ("the one prostrated by love") is the raciest version, in which Criseyde eagerly joins in the lovemaking. Boccaccio also added Pandarus as the go-between. Key books from Chaucer's poem are included, as well as Henryson's Testament of Cresseid (1490). ; Mediaeval Academy Reprints for Teaching; 0.81 x 8.96 x 6.04 Inches .
