More about the book
Chaucer's work, often associated with English literature, reveals a significant appeal to European women, particularly through the lens of Anne of Bohemia, the wife of Richard II. The analysis of the Canterbury Tales suggests that Chaucer envisioned her as an ideal reader, which influenced his writing style and themes. This perspective highlights the broader European context of his work and its relevance to women of his time, challenging the traditional view of Chaucer's audience.
