Tison Pugh & Marcia Smith Marzec 
Men and Masculinities in Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde [PDF ebook] 

Wsparcie

New studies of the problem of medieval masculinity, and Chaucer’s treatment of it.
Issues relating to the male characters and the construction of masculinities in Chaucer’s masterpiece of love found and love lost are explored here. Collectively the essays address the question of what it means to be a man in the Middle Ages, what constitutes masculinity in this era, and how such masculinities are culturally constructed; they seek to advance scholarly understanding of the themes, characters, and actions of Troilus and Criseyde through thehermeneutics of medieval and modern concepts of manliness. Throughout, they argue that Troilus and the other characters, including Criseyde, are subject to multiple and conflicting interpretations, especially in regard to the intersections of their genders with their sexual performances and their conflicted relationships to generic expectations for gendered conduct.
