Jacket Description/Back: The 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. In the case of the three dits that constitute this study, that theme is women, their characteristics, and more particularly, their vices and virtues.
