SUMMARY

This book examines Troilus and Criseyde and The Knight's Tale as poems which work the same plot to contrasting tragic and joyous endings but for the same purpose, of exploring the folly of electing the temporal world over the eternal. It demonstrates that the tragedy of Troilus and Criseyde is a consequence of the folly of relying on Fortune and temporal bliss and works through the pattern of a similar dependence in The Knight's Tale.Penninger, Frieda E. is the author of 'Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde and the Knight's Tale Fictions Used' with ISBN 9780819192189 and ISBN 081919218X.
