Description	In his Canterbury Tales, Chaucer imagines the husband of his Wife of Bath reading daily from a book about wicked women.  The material from which such a book could select was extensive: a misogynistic tradition drawing on the Bible, the Roman satirists, the Church Fathers, which informed fictional and non-fictional representations of women in Old and Middle English. There was also, however, a counter-movement of texts which, while not all perhaps fully ‘feminist’, nonetheless tried to represent women more sympathetically.  This course will examine some of the texts which created a language for talking about women, their experiences, their vices and virtues, and will culminate in a consideration of Chaucer’s Legends of Good Women, a text which deliberately reads against the grain, turning familiar female villains into heroines.
Objectifs de formation	An appreciation of issues of gender in relation to medieval texts An understanding of the development of English as a written vernacular Increased familiarity with late-Middle English and early-Modern English language
