    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses relations between the &quot;idealizing tendencies&quot; of formalist literary studies and the practicalities of studies in book history, reading PF as a &quot;Chaucerian theory of the book&quot; that is similar to the theory of Maurice Blanchot. Explores how a manicule at PF 518 in manuscript Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Bodley 638 (along with a pun on &quot;foule literature &quot; at PF 517) points the way to future study of &quot;the disruptive and changeful work that literature does in the world.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes &quot;critical animal studies&quot;; then examines human-animal relations in PrT and NPT, arguing that the Prioress&#039;s &quot;selective sympathy for certain animals&quot; in her GP description &quot;forecasts her narrow sympathy for certain humans&quot; in her Tale. NPT, on the other hand, &quot;ponders . . . the ways in which cross-species interactions participate in self-expression, question the status of the human, and contribute to community formation&quot; across classes, races, nations, and species.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Theorizes &quot;public interiorities&quot; in terms of literary voice, Augustinian self-awareness, and Jürgen Habermus&#039;s conceptualization of the &quot;public sphere,&quot; discussing them as expressions or perceptions of stances or outlooks that are neither universal nor individual but political and rhetorically value-laden. Comments on a range of late-medieval English texts, including a general claim that CT is a &quot;vast anthology of diverse public interiorities&quot; and, particularly, that PrT functions differently than Book 8 of Augustine&#039;s &quot;Confessions&quot; and &quot;St Erkenwald&quot; and voices the public interiority of antisemitism and &quot;unending violence.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that &quot;Desire-as-impasse is the human condition&quot; in KnT, exploring how readers&#039; &quot;reading backward&quot; from the end of the tale--seeking to fulfill the &quot;desire for signification&quot;--parallels the efforts of Arcite and Palamon to articulate their own desires and in doing so call the desires into existence in Lacanian fashion. Includes comments on rhyme riche echoes between two meanings of &quot;armes&quot; (limbs and weapons), manuscripts variants in Arcite&#039;s desire for &quot;victorie,&quot; and Arcite&#039;s awareness of Emelye&#039;s desires.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Distinguishes between modern views of rocks as mere objects and medieval understanding of their &quot;virtues,&quot; agency, and exemplary value, raising questions about objects in nature and in art. Assesses the tale of the cock and the rock in Robert Henryson and in John Lydgate, and comments on how the black rocks in FranT and a scene in &quot;Sir Gawain and the Green Knight&quot; show that &quot;abstract notions of &#039;trouthe&#039; are meaningless unless grounded in the matter of the natural world.&quot; Also describes the &quot;Chaucer Pebble&quot; of the British Museum and its reception.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Exemplifies how metrical phonology (&quot;the linguistic forms that fill out metre&quot;) supports A. S. G. Edwards&#039;s claim (in &quot;Chaucer and &#039;Adam Scriveyn,&#039; &quot; MÆ 81 [2002]) that Chaucer may not have written the lyric Adam. In line 3, &quot;longe&quot; and &quot;lokkes&quot; scan as monosyllables, but Chaucer&#039;s use of these and similar words is disyllabic elsewhere, and such disyllabic usage was for Chaucer &quot;virtually non-negotiable.&quot; Metrical evidence suggests fifteenth-century authorship, and the rime royal stanza suggests the era&#039;s &quot;nascent cult of Chaucer.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
