- Description
- Comments on the role and status of women in the fabliau genre, and argues that May of MerT and Alisoun of MilT are "women of resistance . . . concerned with regaining partial control over their own bodies through adultery." The two characters produce "oppositional pleasures" in order to "play their subjection to their own advantage." Includes a summary in Turkish.
