{"product_id":"feminizing-chaucer-jill-mann-9780859916134","title":"Feminizing Chaucer","description":"An investigation of Chaucer's thinking about women, assessed in the light of developments in feminist criticism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWomen are a major subject of Chaucer's writings, and their place in his work has attracted much recent critical attention. Feminizing Chaucer investigates Chaucer's thinking about women, and re-assesses it in the light of developments in feminist criticism. It explores Chaucer's handling of gender issues, of power roles, of misogynist stereotypes and the writer's responsibility for perpetuating them, and the complex meshing of activity and passivityin human experience. Mann argues that the traditionally 'female' virtues of patience and pity are central to Chaucer's moral ethos, and that this necessitates a reformulation of ideal masculinity.\u003cbr\u003e First published [as Geoffrey Chaucer] in the series 'Feminist Readings', this new edition includes a new chapter, 'Wife-Swapping in Medieval Literature'. The references and bibliography have been updated, and a new preface surveys publications in the field over the last decade. JILL MANN is currently Notre Dame Professor of English, University of Notre Dame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jill Mann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0859916138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780859916134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell \u0026amp; Brewer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.10w x 0.68d","brand":"Jill Mann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130144190719,"sku":"9780859916134","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7c434e4-2070-4865-8508-de368db45658.jpg?v=1687467805","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feminizing-chaucer-jill-mann-9780859916134","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
