Description
Lusty, outspoken, and centuries ahead of her time, the Wife of Bath is one of literature’s most unforgettable characters. Taken from Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, this Penguin Little Black Classics edition presents the bold and bawdy prologue and tale of the Wife of Bath—a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to tell the world.
In her famously witty monologue, the Wife of Bath shares her thoughts on marriage, power, and the battle of the sexes, all with an unapologetic confidence that has made her a feminist icon long before the term existed. Her tale, meanwhile, is a playful yet pointed fable about what women truly desire. Written in Middle English but bursting with a timeless sense of humour, this pocket-sized edition is perfect for lovers of classic literature, medieval history, and razor-sharp social satire.
Key Features:
- One of the most famous and entertaining stories from Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales
- A witty and provocative exploration of love, marriage, and female agency
- Compact and stylish – ideal for collectors and lovers of medieval literature
- Part of the renowned Penguin Little Black Classics series
