This book argues that Chaucer challenges his culture's mounting
obsession with vision through his varied constructions of
masculinity. Because medieval theories of vision relied upon
distinctions between active and passive seers and viewers, optical
discourse had social and moral implications for gender difference
in late fourteenth-century England. By exploring ocularity's equal
dependence on "invisibility," Chaucer offers men and women access
to a vision of "manhed," one that fragments a traditional gender
binary by blurring its division between agency and passivity.
