Description
Political and religious struggles of the late sixteenth century encouraged Scottish misogyny and treatment of Chaucer as a "misogynist authority." As is most clearly evident in the Bannatyne manuscript, Chaucer's works and his apocrypha were used to depict women and the feminization of men as destructive forces.
