Teaching "de raptu meo": Chaucer, Chaumpaigne, and Consent in the Classroom.

Published
Medieval Feminist Forum 53.1 (2017): 150-75.

Description
Contemplates the pedagogical issues involved in confronting rape in Chaucer’s life and works, with emphasis on the life-records that pertain to Cecily Chaumpaigne--especially their ambiguities--and attention to the experiences of modern students and the contemporary conditions that inflect these experiences. Reviews the scholarship that considers records pertaining to Chaumpaigne and introduces Waymack’s website (2016–19, © 2021), which includes the Latin records in parallel-column English translation, along with related information: De raptu meo at https://chaumpaigne.org/.
