The Wife of Bath

Meer over het boek

Exploring the role of women in the Late Middle Ages, this work features one of Chaucer's most developed characters. The Wyves Tale of Bathe, along with its prologue, delves into themes of female agency and societal expectations, with the prologue being notably longer than the tale itself. This unique structure highlights the character's complexity and Chaucer's interest in women's perspectives during his time.
