    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Explores three examples of literary representation of cultural contact across language boundaries: an episode from the &quot;Doctor Who&quot; television series, MLT, and the BBC adaptation of MLT, identifying parallels among cross-linguistic contact, cross-temporal contact, and cross-ethnic contact in these works for the ways that they &quot;limn the malleable and shifting contours of Englishness.&quot; Considers Chaucer&#039;s Custance as a &quot;woman who traverses and perpetually adapts to an array of shifting cultural settings.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that MLT and MLE are &quot;fundamentally concerned with the transmission of affect.&quot; The tale &quot;dramatizes how affect operates as a physical force that realigns individual and collective identities,&quot; while the narrator&#039;s style, combined with pilgrims&#039; responses to the tale in MLE, &quot;models how affects can leap between narrative worlds and between communities.&quot; Through the Tale and responses, Chaucer tests &quot;possibilities for how readers might be moved,&quot; provoking modern critical &quot;disputes.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
