Passion and Order in Chaucer's 'Legend of Good Women'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 23 (1989): 219-35.
- Description
- LGWP promises something that the poem itself does not deliver--stories of faithful women and faithless men. LGW is about how stories break out of prescribed patterns, how characters defy stereotypes, and how emotions and impulses escape the forms imposed on them. LGW can be read as an examination of the complicated relationship between form and formlessness.
