Wife of Bath

Hello, all,

I did not put the Wife of Bath's Prologue on the day after Valentine's Day on purpose! This so-called "confessional prologue" presents us with a host of critical problems. The best basic explanation of the issues many critics have discussed is in Mary Carruther's "The Wife of Bath and the Painting of Lions." Good news--it's now available on-line. If you think you want to write about this Prologue or Tale, you should give this article a look.

See you all tomorrow.
