- "The Wife of Bath's Tale" (bahasa Inggris Pertengahan: The Wyves Tale of Bathe) adalah salah satu dari kisah dalam The Canterbury Tales karya Geoffrey Chaucer. The Wife of Bath's Tale berkisah mengenai ksatria di istana Raja Arthur yang memperkosa seorang perempuan di ladang gandum. Menurut hukum, ia harus dihukum mati, tetapi sang ratu menjadi pengantara, dan menghukum sang ksatria dengan menyuruhnya pergi mencari jawaban dari pertanyaan "apa yang paling diinginkan oleh perempuan?". Sang ratu memberikannya waktu satu tahun untuk menemukannya. Jika ia gagal untuk memuaskan ratu dengan jawabannya, sang ksatria akan mati. Ia mencari, tetapi setiap perempuan yang ia temui menyatakan hal-hal yang berbeda, dari kekayaan hingga pujian. Satu tahun kemudian, dalam perjalanannya kembali, ia bertemu dengan seorang perempuan tua. Perempuan itu berkata akan memberi tahu jawaban dari pertanyaan tersebut jika sang ksatria berjanji melakukan apapun yang diinginkan oleh perempuan itu. Sang ksatria setuju, lalu mereka kembali ke istana. Ia menjawab di depan ratu bahwa apa yang paling diinginkan oleh perempuan adalah kekuasaan terhadap suami mereka, dan ratu menerima jawaban tersebut sebagai jawaban yang benar. Sebagai hadiah, perempuan tua itu meminta sang ksatria menikahinya. Ia menentang, tetapi tidak dapat menghindar, dan pernikahan berlangsung pada hari berikutnya. Pada malam pertama, sang ksatria menyatakan ia tidak senang karena perempuan itu jelek dan berasal dari keluarga golongan rendah. Perempuan itu berkata bahwa ksatria itu dapat memilih, agar ia tetap jelek dan setia, atau cantik tetapi tidak setia. Sang Ksatria memberikan pilihan kepada istrinya. Merasa senang karena memperoleh kekuasaan atas suaminya, perempuan itu menjadi cantik dan setia, dan hidup bahagia bersama suaminya. (in)
- "The Wife of Bath's Tale" (Middle English: The Tale of the Wyf of Bathe) is among the best-known of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. It provides insight into the role of women in the Late Middle Ages and was probably of interest to Chaucer himself, for the character is one of his most developed ones, with her Prologue twice as long as her Tale. He also goes so far as to describe two sets of clothing for her in his General Prologue. She holds her own among the bickering pilgrims, and evidence in the manuscripts suggests that although she was first assigned a different, plainer tale—perhaps the one told by the Shipman—she received her present tale as her significance increased. She calls herself both Alyson and Alys in the prologue, but to confuse matters these are also the names of her 'gossib' (a close friend or gossip), whom she mentions several times, as well as many female characters throughout The Canterbury Tales. Geoffrey Chaucer wrote the "Prologue of the Wife of Bath's Tale" during the fourteenth century at a time when the social structure was rapidly evolving during the reign of Richard II; it was not until the late 1380s to mid-1390s when Richard's subjects started to take notice of the way in which he was leaning toward bad counsel, causing criticism throughout his court. It was evident that changes needed to be made within the traditional hierarchy at the court of Richard II; feminist reading of the tale argues that Chaucer chose to address through "The Prologue of the Wife of Bath's Tale" the change in mores that he had noticed, in order to highlight the imbalance of power within a male-dominated society. Women were identified not by their social status and occupations, but solely by their relations with men: a woman was defined as either a maiden, a spouse or a widow – capable only of child-bearing, cooking and other "women's work". The tale is often regarded as the first of the so-called "marriage group" of tales, which includes the Clerk's, the Merchant's and the Franklin's tales. But some scholars contest this grouping, first proposed by Chaucer scholar Eleanor Prescott Hammond and subsequently elaborated by George Lyman Kittredge, not least because the later tales of Melibee and the Nun's Priest also discuss this theme. A separation between tales that deal with moral issues and ones that deal with magical issues, as the Wife of Bath's does, is favoured by some scholars. The tale is an example of the "loathly lady" motif, the oldest examples of which are the medieval Irish sovereignty myths such as that of Niall of the Nine Hostages. In the medieval poem The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle, Arthur's nephew Gawain goes on a nearly identical quest to discover what women truly want after he errs in a land dispute, although, in contrast, he never stooped to despoliation or plunder, unlike the unnamed knight who raped the woman. By tradition, any knight or noble found guilty of such a transgression (abuse of power) might be stripped of his name, heraldic title and rights, and possibly even executed. Dr. Jodi-Anne George suggests that the Wife's tale may have been written to ease Chaucer's guilty conscience. It is recorded that in 1380 associates of Chaucer stood surety for an amount equal to half his yearly salary for a charge brought by Cecily Champaign for "de rapto", rape or abduction; the same view has been taken of his Legend of Good Women, which Chaucer himself describes as a penance. However, new scholarly work was reported in October 2022 stating that the court documents from 1380 have been misinterpreted and that mention of "raptus” were related to a labor dispute in which Chaucer hired a Cecily Chaumpaigne before she was release from her previous employer.

- The Wife of Bath's Tale (Middelengels: The Wyves Tale of Bathe) is een verhaal uit The Canterbury Tales van Geoffrey Chaucer. De 'Wife of Bath' (vrouw uit Bath), die zichzelf zowel Alisoun als Alys noemt in de proloog van haar verhaal, is een van de meest uitgewerkte personages van Chaucer. Hij beschrijft haar ook uitvoerig in zijn General Prologue. Bovendien is de proloog van haar verhaal, waarin ze zelf aan het woord is, langer dan het verhaal zelf. De 'Wife of Bath' staat haar mannetje tussen de pelgrims en aangezien ze vijf keer getrouwd is geweest, werpt ze zich op als een autoriteit op het gebied van het huwelijk. Haar eigen ervaring is de universele ervaring van alle vrouwen in een wereld die door mannen gemaakt en geregeerd wordt. Haar verhaal gaat over datgene wat, volgens haar, vrouwen boven alles verlangen, namelijk controle over hun echtgenoot en hun huwelijk. (nl)
- Il prologo e il racconto della donna di Bath (The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale) è la sesta novella scritta da Geoffrey Chaucer all'interno dei Racconti di Canterbury. La donna di Bath offre un'immagine del ruolo della donna nel tardo medioevo ed è probabilmente una figura di interesse per Chaucer stesso: è infatti uno dei personaggi maggiormente sviluppati all'interno della novella. Nell'inglese di Chaucer (middle English), wife non significa "moglie" come nell'inglese contemporaneo, ma deriva da wif che significa "donna". (it)
