Troilus and Criseyde

Troilus and Criseyde

Geoffrey Chaucer

Troilus and Criseyde is a narrative poem by Geoffrey Chaucer, composed in the mid-1380s, that recounts the tragic love story of Troilus and Criseyde during the Siege of Troy. The poem, written in rime royale, explores themes of love, betrayal, and fate as Troilus, a Trojan prince, falls for Criseyde, only to lose her to the Greek warrior Diomedes. Regarded by many scholars as Chaucer's finest work, it stands out for its emotional depth and complexity compared to his other famous work, The Canterbury Tales.
