Originally published by J.M. Dent and Sons Ltd., 1934. In this volume Gordon presents the four great medieval versions of the love of Troilus and Criseida: Benoît de Sainte-Maure's Roman de Troie, written in approximately 1160 and the earliest surviving version of the story; Giovanni Boccaccio's It Filostrato (c 1338), which drew on Benoît's tale for one of its two main sources; Georffrey Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde c 1385), for centuries considered his best work; and Robert Henryson's Testament of Cresseid (c 1490), which functions as a continuation of the story Chaucer tells.

Another reviewer considers these works to be useful comparisons with Chaucer. Personally, I consider Henryson's Testament a particularly valuable work in its own right (and so must have Seamus Heaney, who translated The Testament of Cresseid and Seven Fables). Henryson is particularly intriguing for his use of astrological imagery, and his portrayal of Cresseid as a whore is an interesting transition from Chaucer to Shakespeare. ( )
