Unfiltered, opinionated, and joyful, the Wife of Bath stands out from Chaucer's Canterbury crowd, interjecting, interrupting, and endearing herself to readers for over six centuries. This week, Danièle speaks with Marion Turner about the literary life and legacy of this unforgettable character.
Marion Turner is the J.R.R. Tolkien Professor of English Literature and Language at the University of Oxford. Her new book is The Wife of Bath: A Biography.

Odd, I would describe the wife as being the opposite of confident.
