About the book

Geoffrey Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde is one of the great love poems of medieval English literature. Set during the Trojan War, it tells the story of the Trojan prince Troilus and his passionate love for Criseyde. Their relationship is encouraged by the clever Pandarus, but political events eventually force Criseyde away from Troy, placing their devotion under enormous strain. Chaucer combines romance, tragedy and psychological insight to explore love, loyalty, fortune and the painful uncertainty of human relationships.
