I thank Professors Christopher Baswell at Columbia and Lori Newcomb, Charles Wright, and Lisa Lampert at Urbana-Champagne for these opportunities and for their warm hospitality., Andrew Galloway; Chapter 2 The Luxury of Gender: Piers Plowman B.9 and the Merchant’s Tale 1 This essay has been developed from our discussion of this passus and tale during a seminar at the NEH Chaucer and Langland Institute, University of Colorado, Boulder, July 1995. We are indebted to the directors of the Institute, C. David Benson, Elizabeth Robertson, and James Simpson, for providing the impetus to read Chaucer and Langland together. We thank Professor Simpson and fellow participant Kathleen Hewett-Smith for their input at various stages in this project.
