Isabel Davis identifies a medieval discourse of masculine selfhood which is preoccupied with the ethics of labour and domestic living in readings of Langland, Usk, Gower, Chaucer and Hoccleve. Davis presents a genuinely fresh perspective on ideas about gender, labour and domestic life in medieval Britain.
