- Description
- Investigates Anne of Bohemia as a figure of queenship--socially, politically, and economically-- along the way questioning arguments for claims that she was Chaucer's patron (often grounded in LGWP), treating them as probabilities rather than facts. Also comments on late medieval notions of "womanhood" and "femininity" in Chaucer's works, suggesting that he "might well have written about" such concepts "with Anne in mind."
