- Description
- Contrasts lack of commentary on birth control in ParsT with its presence in the letters of Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, Marquise de Sévigné, arguing that Chaucer was pre-Malthusian ("prémalthusien") rather than proto-Malthusian ("protomalthusien"). Reads ParsT as a standard view of sexual activities in Chaucer's age.
