    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Medieval Dog Whisperers: The Poetics of Rehabilitation.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Departs from purely functional or allegorical approaches to the whelp in BD by situating the narrative&#039;s portrayal of canine-human relations within the field of critical animal studies. Establishes the role of the whelp in rectifying human dysfunction by focusing on problems of identity and communication and drawing on literary, as well as sociological, frameworks (e.g., modern prison rehabilitation programs). The uncanny communicative bond between whelp and dreamer reveals a &quot;motion away from subhuman singularity and toward humane community.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Analyzes the aesthetics of medieval romance in light of the philosophies of G. W. Leibniz, Immanuel Kant, and Hans-Georg Gadamer, exploring and explaining the &quot;pleasurable seriousness&quot; (for modern and medieval audiences) of the &quot;Lais&quot; of Marie de France, Jean d&#039;Arras&#039;s &quot;Melusine,&quot; &quot;Sir Orfeo,&quot; &quot;Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,&quot; TC, and several of the CT. Reads Troilus&#039;s final perspective in TC as from an &quot;epistemically possible world,&quot; backdrop to his experiences of Criseyde as a woman who seems to come &quot;from a different world&quot; (as Melusine does). FranT presents the beauty of romance, WBT subjects the genre to serio-comic investigation, ClT threatens it with allegory, and CYT undermines its transformative possibilities.]]></dcterms:description>
