초록
Prostitution as an institution was central to the function of medieval society; simultaneously, prostitutes as individuals were stigmatized as the shame of womanhood. Investigating discourses of medieval misogyny and contemporary practices of prostitution, this paper illuminates ambivalence towards female sexuality in literary representations of women and in late medieval English society, which both legalized and marginalized prostitution. A comparative analysis of the merchant’s wife in the Shipman’s Tale with prostitute saints in medieval saints’ lives and Ambrosia in Boccaccio’s Decameron demonstrates how Chaucer’s work both reflects and questions contradictions inherent in the canon law that dominated medieval Europe in its legal, practical, philosophical attitudes towards women. Chaucer’s attention to economic aspects of the anonymous wife’s dealings with the monk and the merchant in the Shipman’s Tale reveals the gap between theory and the experiences of late medieval women as the text destabilizes contemporary discourses of prostitution and female sexuality.
Abstract
Prostitution as an institution was central to the function of medieval society; simultaneously, prostitutes as individuals were stigmatized as the shame of womanhood. Investigating discourses of medieval misogyny and contemporary practices of prostitution, this paper illuminates ambivalence towards female sexuality in literary representations of women and in late medieval English society, which both legalized and marginalized prostitution. A comparative analysis of the merchant’s wife in the Shipman’s Tale with prostitute saints in medieval saints’ lives and Ambrosia in Boccaccio’s Decameron demonstrates how Chaucer’s work both reflects and questions contradictions inherent in the canon law that dominated medieval Europe in its legal, practical, philosophical attitudes towards women. Chaucer’s attention to economic aspects of the anonymous wife’s dealings with the monk and the merchant in the Shipman’s Tale reveals the gap between theory and the experiences of late medieval women as the text destabilizes contemporary discourses of prostitution and female sexuality.
