- Published
- Chaucer Review 55, no. 4 (2020): 397-421.
- Description
- Discusses the wives of CT, and, in particular, Constance in MLT, suggesting that "unruly" wives are generally English and that virtuous ones are continental. Traces how Chaucer's use of these good wives offers space for him to rethink England, the Continent, and good wives.
