Description
|
|
|
|
Set during the siege of Troy, this tragic verse romance is considered by many to be "Chaucer's greatest poem" (C.S. Lewis). Troilus, a valiant warrior, is scornful of love until he catches a glimpse of Cressida. With the help of his friend and her uncle Pandarus, Troilus wins the virtuous, tenderhearted Cressida over. But their happiness is destroyed when, summoned to a Greek camp, Cressida seeks the protection of Diomedes and ultimately betrays Troilus.
