- Description
- A new version of Mann's book "Geoffrey Chaucer" (1991), with expanded references, footnotes, and bibliography. A new preface (pp. vii-xix) sketches developments in "Chaucerian gender studies" since c. 1990 and argues that Chaucer's exploration of gender roles is related to his concerns with cosmic power, human choice, and Boethian destiny. The book includes an excursus on FranT, a slightly revised version of "Wife-Swapping in Medieval Literature" (SAC 26 [2004], no. 235).
