- Description
- Proceedings from a seminar on Éilís Ní Dhuibhne's short story, "The Wife of Bath," in which a modern character (a Jane Austen fan) travels to Bath and meets a woman, Alice, whose life recalls Chaucer's character in several ways. The story is included (pp. 3-14), with a sequel (pp. 113-24), translations of the stories into Italian by Paola Biancolini Decuypère (pp. 15-27 and 125-37), and a question and answer session that considers translation of the story and its allusions, conducted by Giovanna Tallone (pp. 151-63). Also included are several critical essays, including "The Wives of Bath: Chaucer and Ní Dhuibhne" (pp. 67-75), by Maria Luisa Maggioni, who compares the two versions of the Wife of Bath.
