{"product_id":"troilus-and-criseyde-jenni-nuttall-9780521191449","title":"'Troilus and Criseyde'","description":"'Troilus and Criseyde', Geoffrey Chaucer's most substantial completed work, is a long historical romance; its famous tale of love and betrayal in the Trojan War later inspired William Shakespeare. This reader's guide, written specifically for students of medieval literature, provides a scene-by-scene paraphrase and commentary on the whole text. Each section explains matters of meaning, interpretation, plot structure and character development, the role of the first-person narrating voice, Chaucer's use of his source materials and elements of the poem's style. Brief and accessible discussions of key themes and sources (for example the art of love, the holy bond of things, Fortune and Thebes) are provided in separate textboxes. An ideal starting point for studying the text, this book helps students through the initial language barrier and allows readers to enjoy and understand this medieval masterpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenni Nuttall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521191440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521191449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Jenni Nuttall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056256938239,"sku":"9780521191449","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f5b8ff7-4be4-4a3c-a734-1c9859087730.jpg?v=1685040357","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/troilus-and-criseyde-jenni-nuttall-9780521191449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
