How manly is Troilus? To what extent can the spirit and terminology of recent feminist criticism inform the study of Chaucer's men? Is there such athing as a distinct  Chaucerian masculinity', or does it appear in a multitude of different forms? These are some of the questions that the contributors to this ground-breaking and provocative volume attempt to answer, using a diversity of critical methods and theories. Some look at the behaviour of noble or knightly men; some at clerics, or businessmen, or churls; others examine the so-called \"masculine\" qualities of female characters, and the \"feminine\"qualities of male characters. Topics include the Host's bourgeois masculinity; the erotic triangles operating in the \u003ci\u003eMiller's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e; why Chaucer  diminished' the sexuality of Sir Thopas; and whether Troilus is effeminate, impotent or an example of true manhood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e PETER G.
