Allen-Goss has given us a book that we need. ...I finished the book even more convinced that Chaucer's text is an essential tool in understanding the development of femininity, female desire, and medieval feminisms. Her applications to other romances demonstrate how this view works outside a Chaucerian framework. * STUDIES IN THE AGE OF CHAUCER * This study is groundbreaking for its willingness to rethink how overlooked genres-romance and legend-might admit female same-sex desires that are usually proscribed or overwritten. ...I view Allen-Goss's call to consider feminine desire outside or beyond the structures of masculine fantasies as one of the most important interventions in feminist critical thought for late medieval English literary studies. * ARTHURIANA * Allen-Goss has produced exciting and important work, which makes a convincing case for re-evaluating these understudied texts and their explorations of female desires. -- Hannah Piercy * Nottingham Medieval Studies * Throughout, Allen-Goss shows how incomprehensible or unspeakable female desire typically and systematically receives articulation vis-à-vis masculine desire. Consequently, her arguments will interest Chaucerians, medievalists, and other scholars of literature and literary theory with special interests in sexuality and gender studies. -- Holly Barbaccia, Georgetown College * Journal of British Studies * Lucy Allen-Goss's far-ranging and exciting monograph offers a provocative way of recuperating the often-occluded representation of female desire in medieval texts. -- Elizaveta Strakhov * Renaissance Quarterly * Lucy M.
