Feminist Readings in Middle English Literature
An insightful collection of essays published in the mid-1990's. This includes such landmark articles as Mary Carruthers' "The Wife of Bath and the Painting of the Lions" and Sheila Delany's "Sexual Economics, Chaucer's Wife of Bath and the Book of Margery Kempe" which guide the discussion on gender and medieval narrative throughout the rest of the volume.
The collection concedes to the editors' personal theoretical positions as post-structuralists who recognize the plurality of meanings within text and the limitations of those meanings. The introduction is particularly helpful for students who want to gain an overall view of feminist theory as it has grown in the last few decades and how it has been used to understand medieval literature.
