Title:
Criseyde, Cassandre, and the "Thebaid": Women and the Theban Subtext of Chaucer's "Troilus and Criseyde" [The author argues that the Theban subtext emphasizes female vulnerability to male violence, while the male characters do not recognize war's violence and sublimate warlike rhetoric in the service of love].
