- Description
- Examines the roles of loss and violence in the construction of feminine figures in chivalric literature, considering such constructions in light of fourteenth-century social history. In TC, Chaucer considers the relation between heroism and suffering and explores how and why Criseyde has been shaped by her world to consent to violence without recourse to ennobling complaint.
