Question

Carolyn Dinshaw’s book on this author’s “Sexual Poetics” discusses this author’s coining of the sexual euphemism “belle chose,” or “beautiful thing.” Marion Turner’s 2023 “biography” of a woman created by this author highlights that woman’s question “who painted the lion?” and her “afterlife” in adaptations by Jean “Binta” Breeze and Zadie Smith. Research from 2022 disputes the view, based on a deed of release, that this author raped Cecily Chaumpaigne. When a woman created by this author (*) tears pages from her husband’s “book of wicked wives,” he hits her on the head, leaving her deaf in one ear. (-5[1])A character created by this author meets an old woman who makes him grant her any favor she wants, and who turns young after marrying him, when he is given a year to learn what women want (10[1])most. (10[1])For 10 points, name this creator of the Wife of Bath. ■END■
