[ send me this paper ]

Geoffrey Chaucer's 'Troilus & Criseyde'
[ send me this paper ]
Medieval Europe in the 1500's was a bastion of Christian incipience. The times were such that the rewriting of pagan tales to include the Christian thought of the day were common, even unconscious. Geoffrey Chaucer's tragic poem 'Troilus and Criseyde' is no exception, though written with more subtlety and understanding of human interaction with divine meaning than most. This 4 page paper seeks to argue that Chaucer rewrites the classic pagan tale of the fall of Troy to include the Christian thought of his day. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
