 | Troilus & Criseyde by Albert Croll Baugh, Barry Windeatt, Geoffrey Chaucer, Nevill Coghill, R. A. Shoaf
Despite his resolve to avoid romantic entanglements, the poor Trojan prince Troilus falls in love with the beautiful Criseyde. After a brief affair, the lovers are separated when Criseyde is sent to the Greek camp and betrays Troilus by falling in love with the Greek Diomede. Heartbroken, Troilus fights to his death at the hand of Achilles. Finally, Troilus ascends to the eighth sphere, set aside in Heaven for pagan heroes. From here he sees the instability of earthly passions compared with the architecture of the divine. Chaucer`s mastery of the rime royal stanza exemplified in this composition helps date it circa 1380. AUTHOR: Albert Croll Baugh, Barry Windeatt, Geoffrey Chaucer, Nevill Coghill, R. A. Shoaf

 | The Stranger by Albert Camus, Joseph Laredo, Matthew Ward, Peter Dunwoodie, Richard Howard
In this stylistically simple, first-person tale of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach, Camus explored what he termed the nakedness of man faced with the absurd. Through Meursault, Camus portrays a man who rejects the beliefs and life styles imposed on him by society. The events that lead to his execution only serve to reinforce his feelings of utter isolation. A classic existentialist work, the novel influenced many of Camus's contemporaries, including Roland Barthes, Alain Robbe-Grillet, and Nathalie Sarraute.
