This study shows how contemporary theory can serve to clarify
structures of identity and economies of desire in medieval texts.
Bringing the resources of psychoanalytic and poststructuralist
theory to bear on Chaucer's tales about women, this book addresses
those registers of the Canterbury project that remain major
concerns for recent feminist theory: the specificity of feminine
desire, the cultural articulation of gender, the logic of sacrifice
as a cultural ideal, the structure of misogyny and domestic
violence. This book maps out the ways in which Chaucer's rhetoric
is not merely an element of style or an instrument of persuasion
but the very matrix for the representation of de-centered
subjectivity.
