The verses, translated here into English for the first time, provide significant insights into the role of women in the Middle Ages as well as into medieval social history and the history of misogyny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three poems that form the subject of this study represent a relatively unexplored medieval genre, the dit (from the French dire= 'to say, ' hence 'something said'). Dits differ considerably from other vernacular literary forms.
