Chaucer, Ethics, and Gender - Blamires, Alcuin (Professor of English, Goldsmiths College, University of London)

Providing an understanding of Chaucer texts as the tales of the Miller, the Franklin, and the Wife of Bath, this book explains how the poet shapes human problems in terms of the uneasy mix of moral traditions available at the time. It also deals with how ethical issues - which are also gender issues - dominate Chaucer's work.
