This cross stitch pattern celebrates the witty and bawdy Wife of Bath, one of the most famous characters from Geoffrey Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales.” Her abilities to defy social conventions and speak her mind have made her a beloved literary icon for centuries. Recreated in detail from images in the 15th century Ellesmere Manuscript, this pattern includes a portrait of the Wife of Bath, a decorated letter, and a caption written in historically accurate Gothic script. This pattern is part of my Canterbury Tales collection, and is perfect for lovers of Medieval Literature, English History, illuminated manuscripts, and outspoken women.
