- Description
- Shows how Chaucer's life and literature were "embedded in European contexts," even as he "ostentatiously displays the Englishness of his poetry." Comments generally on Continental and English aspects of Chaucer's style and content, and examines how they combine in the details, form, and matter of WBPT, characterizing the Wife herself as, in many ways, "a product of north-western Europe specifically, rather than Europe as a whole."
