Fearing for Chaucer's Good Name
- Published
- Exemplaria 2 (1990): 23-36.
- Description
- Although Chaucer criticism divides into prefeminist, feminist, and postfeminist eras, postfeminist criticism often lapses into prefeminist exclusion of female readers and critics by assuming transhistorical categories of the masculine and feminine and by reaffirming the traditional adulation of the male canonical authorial and critical subjectivity as it relates to "the absence of women and the textuality of Woman" in Chaucer's poetry.
