M / W: A Deconstructive Reading of the Wife of Bath

Published
Journal of English Language and Literature (Korea) 44: 255-74, 1998.

Description
Chaucer prompts his readers to recognize that the Wife of Bath misreads and adapts the authorities she confronts, reminding us that multiple meanings are everywhere possible. This deconstruction of meaning prompts deconstruction of the male/female dichotomy and echoes throughout WBPT, ClT, MerT, and even Ret.
In Korean, with English abstract.

Chaucer Subjects
Wife of Bath and Her Tale.
