- Description
- Presents connections between the "epithet 'of bath'" in relation to the Wife of Bath and a character in the fifteenth-century play "Lucidus and Dubius," who also refers to himself as "a childe of bathe." Suggests that this understanding "has the potential to offer new readings of Chaucer’s Wife of Bath" in WBPT.
