- Abstract:
- In this essay, I trace the poetological and literary-historical dimension of arrogance in Chaucer’s and Shakespeare’s treatments of the story of Troilus and Criseyde/Cressida. Both authors, I argue, utilize arrogance in their Troy stories to test notions of ‘counter-authorship’ by means of poet-playwright characters who self-consciously, albeit obliquely stage their own literary-historical predicaments, reflecting issues of temporality, of periodization.
