Introduction: Chaucer's Visions of Manhood -- Part I: Engendering Cultural Sights -- The Femininity Mystique: Art, Vision, and Allegory in the Tale of Melibee -- Portrait of the Father as a BadMan: Visible Pressure in the Physician's Tale -- Part II: Reforming Social Perspective -- My first matere I wil yow telle: Bodily Impact in the Book of the Duchess -- Generic Vision: Dislocating Masculinities in the Merchant's Tale -- Part III: Envisioning Literary Bodies -- Which Wife? What Man? Gender Invisibility Between Chaucer's Wife and Shipman -- Conclusion: Miscellaneous Chaucer: Proverbial Masculinity in MS. BL Harley 7333.

This book argues that Chaucer challenges his culture's mounting obsession with vision throughhis varied constructions of masculinity. Because medieval theories of vision relied upon distinctions between activeand passive seers and viewers, optical discourse had social and moral implications for gender difference in late fourteenth-century England. By exploring ocularity's equal dependence on invisibility, Chaucer offers men and women access to a vision of manhood, one that fragments a traditional gender binary by blurring its division between agency and passivity.
