While drafting and revising "Chaucer's Gender-Oriented Philosophy in The Canterbury Tales", I have been advised by Professor Dorothy Kim to consult with Chaucer Review Vol. 57, No. 4 (2022) titled "The Case of Geoffrey Chaucer and Cecily Chaumpaigne: New Evidence" and the blog posted on the site of the National Archive titled "Geoffrey Chaucer and Cecily Chaumpaigne: Rethinking the record" (2022). Both references provide a meticulous reading of Chaucer-Cecily case of rape confirming that the newly discovered legal records exonerate Chaucer from any guilt of sexual rape. Sebastian Sobecki and Euan Roger, the guest editors of the thematic issue of Chaucer Review Vol. 57, No. 4, state that Chaucer and Chaumpaigne "belonged to the same party in a legal dispute with Chaumpaigne's former employer, Thomas Staundon, who had sued them both under the Statute of Laborers" (2022, p. 407). This conclusion challenges both the conventional viewpoint that Chaucer has been "informed by clerical asceticism, misogyny and misogamy" (Kennedy, 1997, p. 23) and the radical feminist calls to cancel Chaucer (Wollock, 2021), thus buttressing the atmosphere of opaqueness that encompasses the value of gender in Chaucer's poetry. I believe that resolving such opaqueness demands some bold attempts that challenge the great body of Chaucer criticism concerning gender and the concept of rape. I urge further attention to the difference between what the poet says and what is said the poet says by critics. I think the politics behind reading Chaucer as a feminist or misogynist complicates Chaucer's codification of gender; therefore, readers need to scrutinize Chaucer's lines themselves, not as paraphrased or explained in critics' books and articles (Zuraikat, 2023). Also, I urge further attention to the contribution of medieval English literature to the modern conceptualization of certain controversial terms like gender and rape as articulated in recent publications, such as Intersectionality in Digital Humanities (2019) by Barbara Bordalejo and Roopika Risam (eds.) and The Routledge Companion to Intersectionalities (2023) by Jennifer C. Nash and Samantha Pinto (eds.).
