Review
'this volume provides an extremely lively account both of the development of the Troilus narrative and also of the cultural implications of these developments ... Anyone who wishes to see criticism and scholarship at their best - entirely free of idées fixes or of aggression - is bound to welcome this volume.' Robin Kirkpatrick, Daily Telegraph
well-conceived volume ... The strengths of this excellent volume reflect the peculiarities of its European pedigree. The four British contributors are strong on local detail and manuscript contexts; the five Italians, with their liceo classico educations, have an impressive sense of cultural depth which allows them to relate vernacular texts to Greek and Latin antecedents.'Renaissance Quarterly
'elegant formulations, clear summaries, and sensitive translations' Times Literary Supplement
'this is a valuable collection' Paul Hartle, Country Life
'As the first book to offer a comprehensive survey of the Troilus story in Europe, the present volume is to be welcomed. This is a very interesting book.' Etude Anglaises, T.XLVI, No.1 (1991)
'Piero Boitani has edited here a collection of very good essays on the different versions of the story of Troilus and Criseyde/Cressida, and packaged them expertly, in a manner which will please reeaders as much as it must have pleased the publishers, between two superb essays of his own.' Derek Pearsall, Harvard University, Yearbook of English Studies, 1992
'this is a rich and competent collection'S.H.A. Shepherd, Archiv für das Stadium der neuren Sprachen und Literaturen, 1992
