Chapter 1: Masculinity in Romance
Masculinity is a persistent concern in Chaucer's tales deriving from romance, although it often seems a subtext to more evidently political and social issues. My first concern is to suggest how romances use gender difference to establish masculine identity. After a brief look at the function of difference in elaborating masculinity, this chapter turns to two complications in that paradigm.
