Gender and Lanquage in Chaucer

Catherine S. Cox considers the significance of gender in relation to language and poetics in ChaucerUs writing. Examining selections from "The Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde, The Legend of Good Women" and the ballades, she explores ChaucerUs concern with gender and language both within the context of 14th-century culture and in light of contemporary feminist and poststructuralist theory.
