A partire dalla metà del Trecento, una gran parte dei temi narrativi della grande letteratura europea, ma anche molti materiali folclorici, storici e religiosi, furono tradotti in versi nelle ottave canterine. Tra i cantari antichi, databili cioè entro il XIV secolo, la Guerra di Troia è un esempio del tutto singolare, per le sue ampie dimensioni e per la sua dipendenza da fonti scritte. Quasi un poema, pur nelle vesti di un cantare, essa è prova del grande impatto che ebbero, non solo presso il pubblico dei mercanti, ma anche presso uditorî piú vasti, materie fortunatissime come quella troiana, che a partire dal Roman de Troie di Benoît de Sainte-Maure (XII secolo) si sono spinte dal centro alla periferia della letteratura romanza medievale.

Quand débute l’Iliade, la guerre de Troie dure depuis vingt ans. Le récit en avait été fait dans une épopée en douze chants, les Chants Cypriens, aujourd’hui perdue, mais dont un sommaire tardif permet de restituer la trame. Cet immense trésor légendaire a fourni aux poètes tragiques d’Athènes une grande partie des sujets de leurs drames. Parmi eux, c’est surtout chez Euripide, grâce à ses pièces conservées et à son théâtre perdu, qu’on peut le mieux se représenter sous quelles formes s’est opérée cette transmutation de l’épopée au théâtre, dans une cité qui n’a cessé de connaître elle aussi les horreurs de la guerre.

In this sensitive reading of Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, Winthrop Wetherbee redefines the nature of Chaucer's poetic vision. Using as a starting point Chaucer's profound admiration for the achievement of Dante and the classical poets, Wetherbee sees the Troilus as much more than a courtly treatment of an event in ancient history-it is, he asserts, a major statement about the poetic tradition from which it emerges. 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.
