释义 | hazel woodn. 1. a. A wood or thicket of hazels.In Chaucer's Troilus & Criseyde, the character Pandarus makes three references to hazel wood which are of uncertain significance (see also quots. at sense 1b); quot. a1413 at this sense is usually taken as a (derisive) reference to the futility of Troilus's hopes, with the haselwode þere Ioly Robyn pleyde standing as the type of a pastoral or romantic ‘neverland’ (compare quot. a1450, which may have similar connotations). For summaries of various interpretations of these uses see S. A. Barney in L. D. Benson et al. Riverside Chaucer (1987) 1041/1 and K. P. Wentersdorf in Stud. Philol. 89 (1992) 293–313.
