    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Addresses the history of medieval Christianity from the fall of Rome to the ideas of the Reformation. Focuses less on secular and ecclesiastical religious elites and more on how the general public viewed issues of damnation and salvation in the Middle Ages.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Investigates the rhetorical and creative potentials of the idea of authorship as it developed in medieval English literature and established the basis of authorial &quot;prestige and power&quot; for future literary tradition. Individual chapters assess works by Bede, Walter Map, Marie de France, John Gower, Chaucer, John Lydgate, Thomas Hoccleve, and the &quot;Afterlife of Medieval Authorship.&quot; Confronts Chaucer&#039;s &quot;sustained engagement with the questions and problems of authorship&quot; (p. 105) and his devices of disavowal throughout his corpus, exploring how he &quot;creates through imitation&quot; (p. 110), and assessing how other writers used him in developing a rhetoric of English authorial self-awareness and canon formation.]]></dcterms:description>

Identifies changes in historical understanding of &quot;revolution&quot; as a concept, and examines MkT, where revolt is part of an &quot;eternal pattern&quot;; NPT, where the &quot;Great Revolt&quot; of 1381 is cited, and inevitable patterns are inflected by chance and human agency; and Mars, where planetary revolutions are linked with political and personal upheavals.

Explores the imagery of, and stories about, rocks, stones, and gems in scriptural, classical, and medieval traditions as they differ from and are, at times, similar to modern geophysical understanding and instrumental views about nature.

The section on Chaucer (pp. 280-94), labeled &quot;Post-Fin&#039;amor English Poetry,&quot; treats courtly love in KnT as a &quot;Neoplatonized and Christianized caricature of fin&#039;amor.&quot; Juxtaposing KnT with MilT, Chaucer suggests that &quot;love must be a matter of heart, mind, spirit, and body all at once,&quot; a reassertion of traditional fin&#039;amors sensibility.
