Ecofeminist Subjectivities: Chaucer's Talking Birds

By Lesley Kordecki

Book Overview

This book analyzes the interaction between gender and species in Chaucer's poetry and strives to understand his adaptation of medieval discourse through an ecofeminist lens. Works that either speak of animals, or those with animals speaking, give new insights into the medieval textual handling of the 'others' of society.
