"Troilus and Criseyde" and the Cult of Courtly Love

Abstract: A ten page paper examining the degree to which Geoffrey Chaucer's poem reflects the code of courtly love. The paper concludes that the false ideals of courtly love prohibit Troilus from really reaching a personal level with the woman he loves; and this leaves him without any bargaining power when he needs to win her back. Bibliography lists nine sources.
