    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Uses several medieval court cases and posthumanist perspective to examine medieval notions of &quot;corporeal property,&quot; arguing that, by comparing property relations to a &quot;spousal and familial one,&quot; the Wife of Bath persistently destabilizes the subordination of property to human owners. Property in WBPT is &quot;vital&quot; insofar as it has agency and reflects equivalency between human and nonhuman entities, evident in the imagery and plots of the Wife&#039;s narration and similar to the environmentalism of Aldo Leopold.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Reassesses gender violence in WBPT in terms of René Girard&#039;s theory of mimesis that complicates surface oppositions and suggests that we can read the Wife of Bath as parallel to the rapist-knight rather than to the loathly lady. The mirroring of desire in WBPT occludes distinctions between mastery and sovereignty in Alisoun&#039;s &quot;quiting&quot; of Jankyn and in the lady&#039;s offer of &quot;governance&quot; to the knight, representing a kind of &quot;grace,&quot; even though the competitiveness of the tale-telling contest is reaffirmed.]]></dcterms:description>

Traces features of punning in literary history and the critical history of pun-hunting in Chaucer, showing how MilT is a &quot;medium of recipient poetics&quot; in its deployment of popular forms and verbal dexterity, a poem about the &quot;fantasies&quot; of language and linguistic plenitude.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues that &quot;two medieval methods of memorializing&quot; are in tension in KnT: &quot;celebration&quot; of chivalric loss, and Boethian remembrance. Theseus&#039;s admonitions to remember Arcite &quot;leave little room&quot; for &quot;healthy&quot; mourning and reveal the limits of Theseus&#039;s and the Knight&#039;s outlooks. Boethian memory, especially as presented in Nicholas Trevet&#039;s commentary on the &quot;Consolation&quot; (and in Bo), enfigured in the imagery of the tale (especially the temples), insists upon the need for memory to be &quot;modeled imaginatively&quot; in artful mnemonics, although eventually extinguished from &quot;the minds of the living,&quot; a second death.]]></dcterms:description>
