    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In addition to overt allusions to law and its practitioners and his depictions of legal proceedings, Chaucer weaves legal terminology into his texts and uses &quot;embedded&quot; references to real court cases in developing his plots and characters. Advocates and accusers in medieval courts often used creative narration to argue their cases, just as Chaucer does. As well, Chaucer uses &quot;interrogative&quot; rather than &quot;declarative&quot; style so that his audience, like courtroom participants, is expected to analyze the evidence and reach conclusions that are purposely withheld. Braswell discusses numerous courtroom cases, HF, FranT, RvT, ShT, PardP, CkPT, CYT, MilT, and FrT.]]></dcterms:description>

Discusses Almachius as a &quot;figure of the teleology of Wyclif&#039;s political vision and its ecclesiology&quot; and Cecile&#039;s &quot;last will and testament&quot; as the &quot;foundation of the Church&#039;s extensive temporalities.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
