Opis

Marion Wynne-Davies' detailed feminist reading of The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale and The Clerk's Prologue and Tale is the first edition to address the social and cultural context of these poems' production. Her analysis of the original manuscripts of the tales, and of the questions raised about gender and cultural history, is accessible and illuminating. With glosses on the page and a bibliography to assist with further reading, this edition may be an essential study aid for all students of Chaucer, whether familiar with the poems or coming to them for the first time.
