Representing Gender in the 'Canterbury Tales'

- Description
- With CT, Chaucer raises many feminist cultural issues, exploring gender stereotyping and the limits it imposes on individuals. The men of KnT contrast with those of MilT and MerT, and all diverge from the overtly Christian ParsT. Exemplary female characters of MLT, ClT, Mel, and especially SNT contrast with Chaucer's "habille en femme," the Wife of Bath.
