'The Legend of False Men'?: Chaucer's Legend of Good Women Re-titled
- Published
- Medieval English Studies 11.1 : 117-30, 2003.
- Description
- Human experience explodes the reductive and stereotypical distinctions between good and bad and between women and men posed in LGW, undercutting the title of the poem, rendering the narrator's task pointless, and encouraging the reader to reject the inappropriate perspective imposed by the God of Love. The work stalls because it cannot keep up the pretence of being about women or about goodness.
- In English, with Korean abstract.
- Chaucer Subjects
- Legend of Good Women.
