- Description
- Assesses Hyapatia Lee's "Ribald Tales of Canterbury" as "quasi-medieval erotica" and a conventional example of pornography from the "golden age" of porn films (1970s and early 1980s). Then discusses evidence from the film and from an autobiography that Lee, as screenwriter and star, sought to assert "feminine displacement of Chaucer's male authority."
