While translating Boethius&#039;s &quot;Consolation of Philosophy&quot; (and aware of Nicholas of Trevet&#039;s and Jean de Meun&#039;s versions) Chaucer reiterates and magnifies the &quot;feminine and pedagogical&quot; aspects of Philosophy and the translation process.]]></dcterms:description>

Reads the &quot;greyn&quot; as Mary&#039;s &quot;loan&quot; to the clergeon, describes Chaucer&#039;s familiarity with lending practices and architecture, comments on his alterations of his sources for PrT, and includes five b&amp;w figures.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Compares several late-medieval boy-murder narratives to assess attitudes toward Jews before and after their 1290 expulsion from England. Chaucer&#039;s PrT is the &quot;finest aesthetic treatment&quot; of the story in the Middle Ages and, in comparison with other versions, it has relatively little emphasis on filth and desecration. Importantly, the tale makes a &quot;remarkable contribution&quot; to the &quot;racialization of England,&quot; representing genealogical, spatial, and pedagogical aspects of defining Christians by contrast with Jews.]]></dcterms:description>
