Religion and Chaucer's Wife of Bath
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page look at this larger-than-life character from Geoffrey Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales,' in terms of her unorthodox views on religion. The paper holds that the Wife's theology is of this world as opposed to the next, earthly as opposed to celestial, material as opposed to spiritual. It is not the officially-sanctioned faith of the late middle ages, and yet, Chaucer implies, it is shared by more people than the Church would care to think. No additional sources.
