Dear all,

Please discuss the following quotation, do you feel it represents your feelings after reading "The Wife of Bath"? If so, how?


"Chaucer´s text is complex and layered, his position is impossible to pin down, his tone inscrutably ironic. Master of indirection, he refuses to nail his colours to the mast in a gesture that fuses complicity with critique. There is no easy way to align ideological sympathies when medieval men write about women" Poplawski, P. et al., 2008
