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","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46493802561687,"sku":"9780801416842","price":6842.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780801416842.webp?v=1769173597","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/chaucer-and-the-poets-9780801416842","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
