Reading Women in Late Medieval Europe: Anne of Bohemia and Chaucer’s Female Audience

Reading Women in Late Medieval Europe: Anne of Bohemia and Chaucer’s Female Audience (The New Middle Ages) by Alfred Thomas
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1137544198 | 251 pages | PDF | 2 MB

Although Chaucer is typically labeled as the "Father of English Literature," evidence shows that his work appealed to Europe and specifically European women. Rereading the Canterbury Tales , Thomas argues that Chaucer imagined Anne of Bohemia, wife of famed Richard II, as an ideal reader, an aspect that came to greatly affect his writing.
