- Chaucer Review 34: 416-27, 2000.
- Description
- In MLT, Gower's tale of Constance, and Émaré, the role of daughter--the woman cast adrift--is ambiguous, entailing both helplessness and independence, subversion and female power. Such tales reflect the notion of the daughter moving from temporary resident of her father's house to her husband's family unit as a "foreigner."
