This is a remarkable essay about The Wife of Bath by Geoffrey Chaucer. It talks about the life & legacy of the Wife of Bath in great detail.
“Alison is a character whom readers across the centuries have usually seen as accessible, familiar, and, in a strange way, real. For many people she is by far the most memorable of the Canterbury pilgrims.”

Love You’re Dead To Me, and was very excited when this episode came out! There’s more episodes about literally anything you could want as well!
