Wetherbee demonstrates the evolution of the poet-narrator of the Troilus, who begins as a poet of romance, bound by the characters' limited worldview, but who in the end becomes a poet capable of realizing the tragic and ultimately the spiritual implications of his story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Winthrop Wetherbee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150170723X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501707230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Winthrop Wetherbee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489277399295,"sku":"9781501707230","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c9db5f8-0252-4dec-a38e-881e5ae1b641.jpg?v=1736953079","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chaucer-and-the-poets-winthrop-wetherbee-9781501707230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
