Title : Chaucer and the Latin Muses [The authors examine Chaucer’s references to the Muses (especially Clio and Calliope) throughout his works. Chaucer is the first English poet to invoke the Muses, but unlike his literary predecessors Virgil, Statius, Dante, or Boccaccio, he does not attach specific values to each muse. Instead, he connects them to memory and the rhetoric of poetry in general. In “Troilus and Criseyde,” Chaucer borrows elements of Martianus Capella’s description of the Muses, but he uses them in new narrative contexts. The appendix lists the names of all the Muses and their corresponding values in the works of Ausonius, Fulgentius, Martianus Capella, John of Garland, and Bernard Silvestris. Title note supplied by Feminae.].

Title : Chaucer’s Much Loved Criseyde [Chaucer portrays Criseyde as weak, inconsistent, and lacking selfhood, and this portrayal is in accordance with the Western male’s tendency to define his selfhood in opposition to a non-human female Other. Chaucer alters Criseyde from her literary precursor Criseida (from Boccaccio’s "Filostrato") by increasing Criseyde’s passivity; thus he renders her more pointedly feminine and attractive to male readers (including male literary critics).

Title : Mythological Lovers in Chaucer's "Trolius and Criseyde" [Chaucer makes many allusions to well-known figures from classical mythology in this poem, and medieval readers were familiar with the meanings of these references. For instance, when Chaucer's fickle Criseyde mentions Oenone (a female figure from Ovid's "Heroides"), medieval readers would have been reminded of medieval glosses of the "Heroides" that interpret Oenone as exemplum of foolish love. Allusions to other mythological lovers like Tereus and Procne, Orpheus and Eurydice, and Myrrha similarly serve as exampla for love as a disastrous and socially destructive force.
