摘要
This article examines the rhetorical "daunce" in Geoffrey Chaucer's epic romance Troilus and Criseyde. More specifically, this article explains that "daunce" a term that appears a total of thirteen times and in every book of Troilus and Criseyde, and nowhere in Giovanni Boccaccio's Il Filostrato-is the predominant mode of fin'amor in the poem, casting discourse about love as a playful dance in which partners move, whirl, and spin each other with rhetoric. Understanding the love game as a rhetorical dance better explains the sometimes deeply problematic interactions of the poem's main characters-Pandarus, Criseyde, Troilus, and Diomede.
