- Description
- Medieval male authors, anticipating female resistance to their treatments of Criseyde, often represented her as an example of natural feminine fickleness, leading women to accept this negative view. Doyle examines masculine treatments of Criseyde, including that of the author of "Disce mori," and then feminine treatments by Azalais d'Altier, Christine de Pizan, and Margaret More Roper.
