Marilynn Desmond is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Binghamton University. She is the author of Reading Dido: Gender, Textuality, and the Medieval Aeneid; coauthor of Myth, Montage, and Visuality in Late Medieval Manuscript Culture; and editor of Christine de Pizan and the Categories of Difference.

"Ovid's Art and the Wife of Bath is one of the most exciting books I've read in my thirty-year career as a medievalist. The depth and range of Marilynn Desmond's scholarship is extremely impressive. Desmond makes the theoretical framework she is using clear, compelling, and accessible. This book should appeal to a very wide readership from classicists to medievalists to feminist scholars, for whom it will provide an exciting and sophisticated alternative to flat and reductive ideas about medieval misogyny and courtly love."
