A new preface (pp. vii-xix) sketches developments in &quot;Chaucerian gender studies&quot; since c. 1990 and argues that Chaucer&#039;s exploration of gender roles is related to his concerns with cosmic power, human choice, and Boethian destiny. The book includes an excursus on FranT, a slightly revised version of &quot;Wife-Swapping in Medieval Literature&quot; (SAC 26 [2004], no. 235).]]></dcterms:description>
