Criseyde Married: Faithless Wives in Middle English Law and Literature

I am seeking papers for my 3-paper session "Criseyde Married:
Faithless Wives in Middle English Law and Literature." The session
will offer interventions into the ongoing examination of marriage
customs and laws and their representation in literature, via the
presentations of and responses to wive's transgressions of these.
Papers may confront the causes and effects of such transgressions;
the cultural anxieties they voice; their positionings concerning
culpability and forgiveness; or more theoretically-aware approaches.
Please send proposals and questions to
