Published
AEstel 4 (1996): 29-56.

Description
Examines feminist and antifeminist readings Criseyde, arguing that--like Chaucer, who appropriates his sources, and like his narrator, who constantly negotiates and repositions himself in relation to Lollius--Criseyde performs, mimes, and parodies gendered behavior and language, appropriating them for her own purposes.

Chaucer Subjects
Troilus and Criseyde.
